Obama Chides Biden for Off-Message Interview
by FOXNews.com
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Barack Obama and Joe Biden stepped out of sync again Tuesday, as the Democratic presidential nominee criticized his running mate for voicing opposition to the government bailout of American International Group early last week.
It was the second off-message moment for the Democratic team in two days. Biden had to ratchet back his own rhetoric Monday after an interview aired in which he called one of his own campaign ads “terrible.”
The lack of harmony suggests the Obama team, for months a rancor-free institution, is running into the kind of message discipline problems that John McCain’s campaign faced before he started to cut back his interaction with reporters.
The latest friction happened when Obama was asked on NBC’s “Today Show” about why he criticized McCain for initially opposing a federal bailout of AIG when Biden was also speaking out against it.
“I think … that in that situation, I think Joe should have waited, as well,” Obama said.
He was referring to Biden’s interview with NBC last Tuesday in which he said, “I don’t think (AIG) should be bailed out by the federal government.”
That echoed McCain’s comment the same day. But all the while Obama had stayed relatively mum on the crisis at AIG. He released a statement last Wednesday expressing his hopes for the rescue plans, but did not give a clear verdict on whether he supported the plan.
Having censured Biden for his remarks, Obama continued to criticize McCain Tuesday for initially opposing federal action on AIG.
“(McCain) said the government should stand aside and allow one of the nation’s largest insurers, AIG, to collapse,” Obama said. ” I think what has been clear during this entire past 10 days is John McCain has not had clarity and a grasp on the situation.”
The internal static, however, was not quite as pronounced as when Biden denounced his own campaign’s ad the day before.
In an interview with CBS News, the Delaware senator took issue with an attack ad from his own side that criticized McCain for his lack of savvy when it comes to computers and e-mail.
“I thought that was terrible by the way,” Biden said. “I didn’t know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we would have never done it.”
The McCain campaign pounced on the statement, and Biden later issued a clarification.
“Having now reviewed the ad, it is even more clear to me that given the disgraceful tenor of Senator McCain’s ads and their persistent falsehoods, his campaign is in no position to criticize,” Biden later said, criticizing McCain for an ad accusing Obama of voting to teach kindergartners about sex. The Obama campaign has said the bill would help children avoid predators.
Biden also raised eyebrows two weeks ago when he said Hillary Clinton “might have been a better pick than me” to be Obama’s running mate.
While Obama has worked intently to patch up the rifts between his campaign and supporters loyal to Clinton, he hasn’t gone so far as to say Clinton would be a better running mate.
Biden, however, told the audience at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire that Clinton “is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America.”
He was responding to an audience member who criticized Clinton.

It's pretty funny. I heard that today on Rush. THAT is biggest possible fucccup from Camp Lib thus far? Slight miscommunications? minor differences between Senatorial opinions?
6 weeks from election day. That's it? I hope you're not assigning the same weight to his praising Clinton as you will when a whitey tape emerges, or when obama admits he's a muslim, etc.

Unlike Clinton, Biden Gets Pass for Saying He Was 'Shot At' in Iraq
When Hillary Clinton told a tall tale about "landing under sniper fire" in Bosnia, she was accused of "inflating her war experience" by Barack Obama's campaign -- but the campaign has been silent about Joe Biden telling his own questionable story about being "shot at" in Iraq.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008
When Hillary Clinton told a tall tale about "landing under sniper fire" in Bosnia, she was accused of "inflating her war experience" by rival Democrat Barack Obama's campaign.
But the campaign has been silent about Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, telling his own questionable story about being "shot at" in Iraq.
"Let's start telling the truth," Biden said during a presidential primary debate sponsored by YouTube last year. "Number one, you take all the troops out - you better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the Green Zone, where I have been seven times and shot at. You better make sure you have protection for them, or let them die."
But when questioned about the episode afterward by the Hill newspaper, Biden backpedaled from his claim of being "shot at" and instead allowed: "I was near where a shot landed."
The senior senator from Delaware went on to say that some sort of projectile "landed" outside a building in the Green Zone where he and another senator had spent the night during a visit in December 2005. The lawmakers were shaving in the morning when they felt the building shake, Biden said.
"No one got up and ran from the room-it wasn't that kind of thing," he told the Hill. "It's not like I had someone holding a gun to my head."
The rest of the press ignored the flap at the time because Biden was viewed as having little chance of ending up on the Democratic presidential ticket. But even after Biden was selected to be Obama's running mate last month, his claim to have been "shot at" drew no scrutiny from the same reporters who had savaged Clinton for making a similar claim that turned out to be false.
FOX News has been asking the Obama campaign for details of the alleged shooting in Iraq ever since Biden was tapped to be vice president. Biden campaign spokesman David Wade promised an answer last week, but failed to provide one.
Meanwhile, the gaffe-prone Biden has again raised eyebrows with another story about his exploits in war zones - this time in Afghanistan. Biden said he will grill Republican rival Sarah Palin in Thursday's vice presidential debate about "the superhighway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan where my helicopter was forced down."
"If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me," Biden bragged to the National Guard Association. "Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are."
But it turns out that inclement weather, not terrorists, prompted the chopper to land in an open field during Biden's visit to Afghanistan in February. Fighter jets kept watch overhead while a convoy of security vehicles was dispatched to retrieve Biden and fellow Senators Chuck Hagel and John Kerry.
"We were going to send Biden out to fight the Taliban with snowballs, but we didn't have to," joked Kerry, a Democrat, to the AP. "Other than getting a little cold, it was fine."
Biden never explicitly claimed his chopper had been forced down by terrorists. Nonetheless,
John McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said Obama-Biden officials have been less than forthcoming about Biden's dramatic war stories.
"They never explained Biden's helicopter story from last week - which is very similar to the story about getting 'shot at' in Baghdad," Rogers said.

Did Biden Get It Wrong? You Betcha
Monday, October 06, 2008
By John R. Lott, Jr.
E-Mail Print Share:
When you interview for a job, here is a hint: make sure you know what the job is. Joe Biden failed that test last Thursday. He couldn’t even get right what a vice president does, but the media didn’t notice.
The media is all over itself about how smart and experienced Biden is. Political analyst Charlie Cook is quoted in the Washington Post on Saturday as saying “Biden is clearly so much more knowledgeable, by a factor of about a million.” Saturday Night Live does a skit about Biden being smart, if slimy. Meanwhile, Governor Sarah Palin is treated as being nothing more than a simpleton.
Yet, take Biden’s statement from the debate on the role of the vice president:
Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.
And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.
The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he's part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive, and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous.
One should be careful when throwing around terms such as “most dangerous” and “bizarre.” But Biden is confusing which part of the Constitution covers the Executive Branch (it is Article II, not Article I). More importantly, the notion that the vice president can preside over the Senate only when there is a tie vote is simply wrong. Nor is it true that the only legislative involvement the vice president has is to break tie votes. The vice president is the president of the Senate, where he interprets the rules and can only be overridden by a vote of 60 senators.
Early vice presidents spent a lot of time in the Senate. Thomas Jefferson even spent his time writing “A Manual of Parliamentary Practice: for the Use of the Senate of the United States.” Modern vice presidents may show up only when they think tie votes will occur, but that is their choice.
This isn’t rocket science. The Constitution on this point is very straightforward: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
Instead, it was Palin who got it right. Besides correctly stating that the vice president holds positions in both the executive and legislative branches, she also noted that:
Of course, we know what a vice president does. And that's not only to preside over the Senate and will take that position very seriously also. I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chooses to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president's policies and making sure too that our president understands what our strengths are.
But just as the vice president’s job includes more than simply being ready to assume the presidency if the president dies, the Constitution merely states what the vice president’s minimum responsibilities are.
Compare the uproar over Palin’s answer to Charlie Gibson about the “Bush Doctrine,” a doctrine that Gibson clearly didn’t understand and for which there apparently exist at least four different versions. Where is the outrage over Biden not understanding what vice presidents do? For Biden, his inability to correctly say what vice presidents do was surely his “gotcha” moment.
Yet, this mistake during the debate was hardly unique. Biden got a lot of things wrong in the debate that are going unnoticed by the fact-check media. Take just a few:
-- Will McCain's health care proposals raise taxes? Biden says that McCain’s proposal will cost people money. The Tax Foundation finds that could easily be "roughly deficit-neutral over ten years."
-- Under an Obama Administration the middle class will "pay no more than they did under Ronald Reagan"? No, the tax rates will be similar to the higher rates under Clinton.
-- Did "we spend more money in three weeks on combat in Iraq than we spent on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country"? No, one year’s worth of spending in Iraq equaled five in Afghanistan.
-- France and the U.S. "kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon"? No, and it wouldn't have made much more sense if he had said "Syria" instead.
-- Is it really “simply not true” that Obama said that he would meet with the leader of countries such as Iran without preconditions? No, Obama said “I would.”
-- Did Obama warn against letting Hamas participate in Palestinian legislative elections in 2005? No.
-- Do “Iraqis have an $80 billion surplus”? No. If oil prices had remained high, it might have reached $50 billion by the end of this year.
-- Finally, an amusing point as evidence that Biden is just one of the people he pointed to, inviting anyone to have a beer with him at "Katie's Restaurant" in Wilmington, Del. Unfortunately, people will have a hard time taking him up on his offer, since the restaurant hasn't had that name for probably 15 years.
Unfortunately, voters who are trying to get an accurate count on whether the candidates are telling the truth can’t rely on the media. FactCheck.org mentions only one of these points, the size of the Iraqi surplus. The Washington Post mentioned Biden’s misstatement on Hamas and Katie’s restaurant. AOL’s coverage of the errors in the vice presidential debate was by far the worst, though that might not be too surprising given that Tommy Christopher, who wrote their news analysis, also blogs on the Obama Web site. None of these checkers mentioned Biden's statements about the role of the vice president.
Compare this to the attacks on Sarah Palin:
-- FactCheck.org criticizes Palin for claiming that McCain’s health care tax credits will be "budget neutral" – they argue that the tax credit will be larger than the new taxes that the program will impose. Fine, but if the people at FactCheck.org believe that is true and that the Tax Foundation is wrong, Biden’s claim about increased taxes is even more inaccurate. But FactCheck.org doesn't even mention Biden’s statement from the debate.
-- From AOL's news analysis piece. “Palin: Said that it is untrue that the U.S. is killing civilians in Afghanistan. According to an analysis by the AP, however, the U.S. is killing more civilians than insurgents are.”
What Palin actually said was: “Now, Barack Obama had said that all we're doing in Afghanistan is air-raiding villages and killing civilians.” Whether one believes the AP estimate or not, the question is whether she was accurately characterizing Obama’s statement of the job that our forces were doing. And Obama said, “We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians” (emphasis added).
-- FactCheck.org’s first critique claims that Palin was wrong to claim that troop levels in Iraq are down to their pre-surge levels. They are correct that after the recently announced drawdown, 6,000 more troops will be in Iraq than immediately before the surge. But why not mention that 84 percent of the 38,000 troops in the surge are home or are in the process of coming home?
The media seems to have been covering for Biden for some time. While news stories still talk about Dan Quayle’s spelling mistake 18 years later, there has been almost no news coverage of Biden’s numerous wacky statements. What if Quayle had said something similar to Biden’s recent statement that, "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'" A neat trick given that Herbert Hoover was president in 1929 and television was not yet invented.
It might not fit the simple template for a 36-year veteran of the Senate to not understand what vice presidents do (after all, eight vice presidents have served with him), but Biden knew less about this than the political outsider, Sarah Palin. Given that they are running to be vice president, why didn’t that story dominate the news coverage after the debate?

"Mark my words... t will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking... we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate [Biden then mentioned the Middle East and Russia as possibilities.] And he's gonna need help...we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right." - Joe Biden

Biden should probably have avoided this topic but Repugs such as Lieberman have said basically the same thing.

Here is one from yesterdays New York Post- Written by Kirsten Powers--> theres a shitload of Gaffes here
Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden as his running mate prompted a small wave of warnings about Biden's propensity for gaffes. But no one imagined even in a worse-case scenario such a spectacular bomb as telling donors Sunday to "gird your loins" because a young president Obama will be tested by an international crisis just like young President John Kennedy was.
Scary? You betcha! But somehow, not front-page news.
Again the media showed their incredible bias by giving scattered coverage of Biden's statements.
There were a few exceptions. On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski flipped incredulously through the papers, expressing shock at the lack of coverage of Biden's remarks. Guest Dan Rather admitted that if Palin had said it, the media would be going nuts.
So what gives?
The stock answer is: "It's just Biden being Biden." We all know how smart he is about foreign policy, so it's not the same as when Sarah Palin says something that seems off.
Yet, when Biden asserted incorrectly in the vice-presidential debate that the United States "drove Hezbollah out of Lebanon," nobody in the US media shrieked. (It was, however, covered with derision in the Middle East.) Or when he confused his history by claiming FDR calmed the nation during the Depression by going on TV, the press didn't take it as evidence that he's clueless.
And Biden is the foreign-policy gravitas on the Democratic ticket, so his comments are actually even more disconcerting.
The outakes of his Sunday remarks don't begin to capture the magnitude of what he said. After warning the crowd that there would be some sort of international incident - Biden could think of four or five scenarios - he told the donors: "We're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."
What does that mean? Obama's election would provoke an international incident because of his inexperience and even Obama's biggest supporters won't be reassured by his response?
Then there were Biden's predictions on the economy: "I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? . . . Why is this thing so tough? . . . I'm asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point, because you're going to have to reinforce us.
"There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision.' "
Biden is teling us that, at a time when Americans need to feel confidence in their government, they will be going "Oh my God." Not a great message.
Needless to say, if Sarah Palin said this about a McCain administration, the media world would be exploding.
Whether you believe Biden is exaggerating, as he is known to do, or is providing real insight, the double standard in the media does even more damage to their lagging brand.
Part of the problem is their "Obama love," but we're also seeing the media elite's belief - prejudice - that anyone with an R behind their name is dumb. So, if they say something dumb, they must be dumb. A Democrat, like Biden, can make wildly inaccurate or outrageous comments and they are ignored because the TV and press insiders feel they "know who he really is."
On the stump recently, Sen. Biden declared he had "three words" for what the nation needs: "J-O-B-S."
Lucky for him, his name isn't Dan Quayle, or that would have followed him for the rest of his career.
-
"MARK MY WORDS. It will NOT be six months, before the World tests Barack Obama, like they did John Kennedy," Biden said in Seattle. "The World is looking. Watch, we're gonna' have an International Crisis, a GENERATED CRISIS, to test the mettle of this guy."

THIS MEANS CAUSED ON PURPOSE.

V: Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 05th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence.
Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever, be forgot.

Finch: I wanna' ask a question, Dominic. I DON'T care if you answer m,e or NOT.
I just wanna' say this ALOUD... The question I want to ask, is about
St. Mary's, and Three Waters. The question, that's kept me up for the
last 24 hours, the question I have to ask, is: What if the Worst,
the Most Horrifying, Biological Attack, in this Country's History,
was NOT the work of Religious Extremists?
Dominic: Well, I DON'T understand. We KNOW it was.
They were Caught. They Confessed.
Finch: And they were Executed. I know.
And MAYBE, that's really what happened. But
I see this chain of events, these Coincidences,
and I HAVE to ask: What if that ISN'T what happened?
What IF some one ELSE unleashed that Virus? What
if some one ELSE KILLED ALL those people?
Would you REALLY wanna know WHO it was?
Dominic: Sure.
Finch: Even if it was some one working for THIS Government?
That's my question. If OUR OWN Government was responsible, for
the DEATHS of almost one hundred thousand people... would you REALLY wanna' know??

So what the Democrats are going to stage their own 9/11? Something involving Pakistan I suppose. A dirty nuke maybe? :o

I was Taught And Ordered, in the USA USMC, To ALWAYS Sacrifice the LIVES of a FEW,

I am NOT sure I believe in this ANY more. IF the USA caused 09/11...Then I SURELY DO NOT.

True.
I was amused at Obama's press conference when he said "Joe is prone to rhetorical flourishes".
His polite way of calling him a gaffe machine.

Obama Campaign Cuts Off Interviews With Florida TV Station
Biden gets asked tough questions by Orlando reporter
FOXNews.com
Saturday, October 25, 2008
Barack Obama's campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported .
During a satellite video Thursday, WFTV's Barbara West quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden how Obama's comment to "Joe the Plumber," about spreading the wealth wasn't being Marxist.
"Are you joking?," Biden asked.
West replied, "No."
Click here to watch the interview.
Later in the interview West questioned Biden about his comments that if Obama wins the election next month, he would be tested early on as president and wanted to know if Biden was implying America was no longer the world's leading power.
"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden asked her.
The Obama camp then killed a WFTV interview with Biden's wife Jill, according to an Orlando Sentinel blog.
"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign, according to the Sentinel.

Biden apologizes to Roberts for oath of office joke
Posted: 06:16 PM ET
(CNN) — An aide to Vice President Joe Biden tells CNN he called Chief Justice John Roberts last week to apologize for a light-hearted remark he made over the flubbed Inauguration Day oath of office.
"My memory is not as good as Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts," Biden said last Wednesday, as he asked for a copy of the oath he was using to swear in senior members of the White House staff.
Several staffers reacted to the comment with groans and laughter, though President Obama, standing next to Biden, did not crack a smile.
An aide to the vice president said Tuesday the two men spoke privately after that comment. “They spoke and had a good conversation,” said the aide, who declined to give further details.
Roberts' mistake came about half way through the 35-word oath, when, reciting from memory, he said the word 'faithfully,' out of order. The flub confused Obama who ultimately repeated the mistake.
Meanwhile, Biden has been selected to handle the administration’s first foreign trip. The White House said Tuesday the vice president will travel to Germany next week with retired Gen. James Jones, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.
Biden will represent the United States at the Wehrkunde, the annual security policy conference held in Munich.

The question is- did you see Obama's face when Bided said that??
The words 'pissed-off' doesn't even come close. I'll actually give Barry credit for that. Everyone else in the room kinda chuckled but Barry could have shot fire through his nose.
I'll bet he give ole Joe a timeout after that.

oh yeah... he was beyond pissed... You know obama melted on him the minute they got offstage. Biden is an immature man. He's very experienced and intelligent... he just goofs off too much. You gotta be a little pretentious to be a solid leader/spokesman, a bit of a politically correct phony. biden's just too damn honest.
-
I got a smile out of this thread. Not from Biden, but from the desperation of the right wing losers trying to find something to complain about.
After Bush, no one can complain about gaffes. But yet.... here they all are. Gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands.

Biden Fumbles Clinton Oath
Vice President Biden learned on Monday how hard it can be to deliver an oath of office, when he slipped during the mock swearing-in of Secretary of State Clinton.
FOXNews.com
Tuesday, February 03, 2009
Mockery of and apologies to the Supreme Court chief justice aside, Vice President Biden on Monday learned how difficult it is to deliver an oath of office.
The vice president fumbled his words while swearing in Hillary Clinton as secretary of state in a mock ceremony held at Foggy Bottom.
After smoothly saying and having Clinton repeat that she does "solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," Biden, who was using a note card, faltered.
"... that I will bear -- excuse me ... that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ..."
He then continued without incident after a hearty laugh from the audience.
The laughter may have been an acknowledgement of the irony following Biden's recent joke at the expense of Chief Justice John Roberts, who slipped when he was administering the oath to President Obama.
Roberts came back and repeated the oath in a private ceremony the following day after Biden, who was holding a swearing-in ceremony for senior staff, joked about Roberts' mistake.
Biden reportedly later called Roberts to apologize. The vice president had another chance to get it right on Tuesday when he swore in Eric Holder to be attorney general.

V.P. Biden an embarrassment for prez?
From CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
(http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/02/10/gall.obama.biden.gi.jpg)
“Barack Obama throws Joe Biden under the bus” is how one British newspaper describes the president’s little dig at his number two during last night’s press conference.
President Obama was asked about the Veep’s recent remark that even if the White House did everything right in combating the economic downturn, there’s a “30% chance we’re going to get it wrong.” The president grinned a little, saying he didn’t remember “exactly what Joe was referring to.” Smooth as ever, Mr. Obama went on to say that he wouldn’t assign a numerical value to all this. But given the magnitude of the problems we’re facing, no one single thing they do will solve all the problems.
But let’s get back to the vice president. During the campaign, folks were always wondering what would pop out of Biden’s mouth next. Biden has said “I never make any big, big gaffes”, but many would beg to differ.
Perhaps the biggest headache came in late October when his running mate suggested that Mr. Obama would be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in office, something the McCain camp seized on immediately.
And, it didn’t end on the campaign trail. During their first full day in office, Biden joked at a press conference about how his memory wasn’t “as good” as Chief Justice John Roberts’, who stumbled over the president’s oath of office. The president wasn’t laughing, and Biden later apologized to Roberts.
Here’s my question to you: Is Vice President Joe Biden becoming an embarrassment for President Obama?

Question: Mr. President, at a speech Friday that many of us covered, Vice President Biden said the following thing about a conversation the two of you had in the Oval Office about a subject he didn’t disclose.
“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, if we stand up there and we really make the tough decisions, there’s still a 30 percent chance we’re going to get it wrong.”
Since the vice president brought it up, can you tell the American people, sir, what you were talking about? And if not, can you at least reassure them it wasn’t the stimulus bill or the bank rescue plan and if, in general, you agree with that ratio of success, 30 percent failure, 70 percent success?
Obama: You know, I don’t remember exactly what Joe was referring to…
(LAUGHTER)
… not surprisingly.

Courtesy of The Coach:
The vice president made a techie gaffe Wednesday as he asked an aide to tell him a Web site's "number," stirring questions online whether he knows how the Web works.
Vice President Joe Biden, tasked with overseeing the $787 billion stimulus package, has been having a little trouble with his "numbers."
During an interview on CBS' "Early Show" on Wednesday, Biden told viewers to check out a government-run Web site tracking stimulus spending, but admitted he was embarrassed because he couldn't remember the site's "number."
"You know, I'm embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number?" he asked an aide standing out of view. "I should have it in front of me and I don't. I'm actually embarrassed."

oh yeah... he was beyond pissed... You know obama melted on him the minute they got offstage. Biden is an immature man. He's very experienced and intelligent... he just goofs off too much. You gotta be a little pretentious to be a solid leader/spokesman, a bit of a politically correct phony. biden's just too damn honest.
BIDEN INTELLIGENT?Wow,a guy who thinks Delware can beat Ohio State in football intelligent?A guy that says "dam the science steroids need to be banned".He is the biggest dullard in the senate.Those gaffs are not gaffs,thats his intelligence on display.Check out his grades from college.Bush laughs at those grades.He is a dope.

And like Mimnaugh said--Biden's "gaffes" aren't just cute, endearing slips of the tongue, they're him manifesting his stupidity.
And George Whorewell--I certainly do remember Biden's cheating, lying and plagiarism--they're what deep-sixed his unsuccessful 1988 presidential bid. He lied about college degrees and plagiarized other people's speeches for his campaign.
Biden's an idiot and how he ever managed to become the VP I'll never understand but it doesn't do much to affirm my confidence in our "democratic" system.

Biden says avoid planes, subways; puts out clarifying statement
Thu Apr 30
Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would not recommend taking any commercial flight or riding in a subway car “at this point” because swine flu virus can spread “in confined places.” A little more than one hour later, Biden rushed out a statement backing off.
“I would tell members of my family — and I have — I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now,” Biden said on NBC’s “Today” show.. “It’s not that it’s going to Mexico. It’s [that] you’re in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes all the way through the aircraft. That’s me. …
“So, from my perspective, what it relates to is mitigation. If you’re out in the middle of a field when someone sneezes, that’s one thing. If you’re in a closed aircraft or closed container or closed car or closed classroom, it’s a different thing.”
That contradicted more restrained advice from President Barack Obama and the federal government — and the last thing the White House wants to do right now is shut down the airline industry and big-city subways out of mass panic.
The White House quickly arranged for Biden to make this statement through a spokesperson.
“On the Today Show this morning, the vice president was asked what he would tell a family member who was considering air travel to Mexico this week. The advice he is giving family members is the same advice the administration is giving to all Americans: that they should avoid unnecessary air travel to and from Mexico. If they are sick, they should avoid airplanes and other confined public spaces, such as subways. This is the advice the vice president has given family members who are traveling by commercial airline this week. As the president said just last night, every American should take the same steps you would take to prevent any other flu: Keep your hands washed; cover your mouth when you cough; stay home from work if you're sick and keep your children home from school if they're sick.”
Host Matt Lauer had asked the vice president: “This is by no means a ‘gotcha’ type of question. … But if a member of your family came to you … and said, ‘Look, I want to go on a commercial airliner to Mexico, and back within the next week,’ would you think it’s a good idea?” Biden made it unmistakably clear he would not want his family to make any trips on planes or subways.
These sorts of comments are what the Obama administration fears from Biden, who after more than three decades in Washington is known for making gaffes.
Biden has had fewer of them since the election and even fewer since taking office. Recently, he stirred things up by saying he was once in the Oval Office with George W. Bush and told the president that no one was following his leadership. Karl Rove flatly called Biden a "liar."
“If you are feeling certain flu symptoms, don't get on an airplane, don't get on any system of public transportation where you're confined and you could potentially spread the virus. So those are the steps that I think we need to take right now. But understand that because this is a new strain, we have to be cautious.”
Before taking office, Biden was the unpredictable one in the Obama team. He compared the economic crisis with Sept. 11, saying, "We're at war!" and he said it was “a mistake” that Obama selected a CIA director without consulting the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Geoff Freeman, the senior vice president of the Travel Industry Association of America, called Biden's comments "unfortunate."
"We need to leave this in the hands of the medical experts, and medical experts are not discouraging anyone" from using these modes of transportation, he said.
Biden and other government officials "need to be very cognizant of the words they use and not make inflammatory comments."
"We're pleased to see the White House working to clarify these comments, and we urge all elected officials to watch their words because they can take on a life of their own."
To keep from getting sick, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends: “Try to avoid close contact with sick people. If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.”
Obama said at his news conference on Wednesday night that “individual families [need to] start taking very sensible precautions — that can make a huge difference.
“So wash your hands when you shake hands,” he advised. “Cover your mouth when you cough. I know it sounds trivial, but it makes a huge difference. If you are sick, stay home. If your child is sick, keep them out of school.

From one of the milblogs......
Reminder from Joe Biden: You're never more vulnerable than when you're asleep. Stay awake until the swine flu threat is over.
Another tip from Joe Biden: Always leave yourself one bullet. If you feel an itching in your nose or throat, put the gun in your mouth and blow the virus out of the back of your head. Like they say, feed a cold, head-shot a fever.
A Joe Biden Home Remedy: If you feel a sore throat coming on, drink a gallon of Dran-o or other highly-caustic drain-cleaner. Don't worry if you feel a burning or tingling sensation -- that's how you know it's working, and all that rich, healthy sodium hydroxide is burning your virus away.
And a repost from the last thread. Joe Biden explaining how he calmly handled a likely swine flu outbreak:
So the other day, some friends of mine and I were sitting around Katie's Diner, having waffles and goofing around. Without warning, this guy at the table sneezed three times. We knew it was swine flu, and we didn't want to cause a panic so we calmly and rationally beat him to death with our chairs.

You're shitting on him for being honest? hey, when there is a pandemic, it's NOT a good time to fly. Should he deceive us like Whitman/EPA did after 911 and tell us the air is clean and safe to breathe?

There has been ONE death in this country from swine flu!!!ONE DEATH!!!!This clown is telling people not to fly on planes and not to take the subway.He is the second most powerful man in the world!!Only you think it was honest.The white house appologised for it and his office back peddled from it.
By the way,Joe Biden,a known plagerist,a known liar[no one remembers that meeting with Bush, and his lies about his wifes death still stand]has never told the truth about anything.He is a serial liar and exagerater.Again,if Palin had said it you would be ape shit.In fact,you went ape shit after her Couric interview and defended Bidens performance on Couric.You remember when he said "when FDR WAS PRESIDENT IN 1929 HE WENT ON TV..."

Biden: Unions Are Way to Rebuild Middle Class
Tuesday, May 12, 2009 12:40 PM
WASHINGTON -- Vice President Joe Biden tells union leaders the best way to rebuild the middle class is to help labor unions grow.
Biden says the White House is committed to passing a bill that would make it easier for workers to form unions.
The Employee Free Choice Act is organized labor's top priority this year, but business groups are adamantly opposed. Senate lawmakers are working on a compromise version of the measure they hope can garner 60 votes to overcome an expected GOP filibuster.
Biden made his remarks at a conference of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which has about 1.6 million members.

Bump. :o
Vice President Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.
According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.
The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.
Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine's Washington contributing editor, said Biden revealed the location while filling in for President Obama at the dinner, who, along with Grover Cleveland, is the only president to skip the gathering.
According to Clift's report on the Newsweek blog, Biden "said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment."
Clift continued: "The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn't be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall."
In December 2002, neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory, which has been used as a residence by vice presidents since 1974.
The upset neighbors were sent a letter by the observatory's superintendent, calling the work "sensitive in nature" and "classified" and that it was urgent it be completed "on a highly accelerated schedule."
Residents said they believed workers were digging deep into the ground, which would support Biden's report of a secret bunker, but officials never confirmed the purpose of the work performed.
The revelation is the latest from Biden, who has a long history of political blunders.
Most recently, he said in a televised interview that if a family member asked him about traveling he'd advise staying away from public transportation or confined spaces to avoid swine flu -- a remark described as "borderline fearmongering" by an airline spokesman.
Hes MUCH smarter then Palin.lol.

Obama 'Distracted' by Biden's 'Indiscipline,' Book Asserts
The president is so "distracted by his vice president's indiscipline" that he has been forced to rebuke privately Vice President Biden, according to a new book by Richard Wolffe.
By Bill Sammon
FOXNews.com
Thursday, May 21, 2009
President Obama is so "distracted by his vice president's indiscipline" that he has been forced to rebuke privately Vice President Joe Biden, according to a new book by Newsweek journalist Richard Wolffe, who interviewed Obama a dozen times.
"He can't keep his mouth shut," Wolffe quotes a "senior Obama aide" as saying of the gaffe-prone Biden in "Renegade: The Making of a President," set for release June 2.
As evidence, Wolffe reports that during the presidential transition period, Biden insulted Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama's closest friends and confidantes. Jarrett had been considered Obama's top choice to fill his vacated Senate seat in Illinois, but took herself out of the running just hours after Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich allegedly told a wiretapped conference call he would not heed any Obama recommendation without a payoff.
"Soon after Jarrett pulled out of consideration for the Senate seat, the senior transition team met to discuss Cabinet picks," Wolffe writes.
"Biden tried to compliment Jarrett after one contribution. 'You should be in the Senate,' he quipped. After the meeting, as everyone returned to their offices, Obama stopped Biden to warn him not to say anything like that again. 'It's not funny,' he told him."
Obama ended up naming Jarrett a senior presidential adviser. After taking her post in the White House, Jarrett remarked on her boss' private communications with his inner circle.
"Very few people have his BlackBerry e-mail," she told Wolffe. "And they are very careful about using it."
In an e-mail sent to FOX News on Thursday, Jarrett said she took no offense to Biden's remark.
"Any suggestion that I was insulted by the vice president's gracious comments regarding my potential for public service is ridiculous. I was very flattered by his kind words at the time, and enjoy working closely with him in the White House," Jarrett said.
Although Obama was ranked as the most liberal member of the Senate by National Journal magazine, he had high praise for former President Ronald Reagan, a staunch conservative.
"Reagan would probably go down as a great president," Wolffe quotes Obama as saying.
"I don't think there's any doubt that Ronald Reagan had a profound effect on our economy, on our politics, on our culture."
Wolffe describes Obama's youth as "filled with drink and drugs and lazy days in Hawaii." But he said that all changed when Obama attended Columbia University in New York.
"That's when I stopped drinking. I stopped partying," Obama said. "This was my ascetic phase. Everything was stripped down."
Obama, who will travel to Egypt next month to give a major speech to the Muslim world, told Wolffe he wants to convene a "Muslim summit."
"If I had a Muslim summit, I think that I can speak credibly to them about the fact that I respect their culture," Obama said, "that I understand their religion, that I have lived in a Muslim country, and as a consequence I know it is possible to reconcile Islam with modernity and respect for human rights and a rejection of violence. And I think I can speak with added credibility."
The son of a white mother and black father, Obama said his election does not solve America's racial challenges.
"Solving our racial problems in this country will require concrete steps, significant investment," he said. "We have a lot of work to do to overcome the long legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. It can't be purchased on the cheap.
"I am fundamentally optimistic about our capacity to do that," he added. "And I do assert that there is a core decency in the American people and in white Americans that makes me hopeful about our ability to deal with these issues. But these issues aren't just solved by electing a black president."

Obama gets mocked -- by Biden
(CNN) — Joe Biden couldn't help but take a dig at his boss Wednesday when one of the vice president's teleprompter screens fell down during his commencement speech at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
"What am I gonna tell the president?" Biden said as a gust of wind knocked down his left teleprompter. "I'm gonna tell him his teleprompter is broken. What will he do then?"
The off-handed quip immediately drew laughter and some the loudest cheers of day from the graduates.
Obama has long been criticized from Republicans for at times appearing over reliant on a teleprompter, even during short and informal speeches. During the White House Correspondents Association dinner earlier this month, the president himself poked fun at his penchant for using a teleprompter.
"You know I had an entire speech prepared for this wonderful occasion, but now that I am here, I am going to try something a little different — I am going to speak from the heart," Obama said jokingly as his teleprompter rose from the floor.

Beach add or merge when u can.
Asked by Jonathan Riskind of the Columbus Dispatch to explain how the White House determined these numbers, Biden said that the Council of Economic Advisers makes its estimates based on measuring what the U.S. employment level would have been without the stimulus, and then comparing it to the nation’s actual employment level.
I’m sorry I’m not an economist,” Biden said as he was describing the methodology. “My background is in foreign policy and the constitution,"
Gee Joe ur VP. I fail to remember Darth Chaney ever saying he didn't know policy.
Vice President Joe Biden may have crossed the line when he assured national law enforcement groups Monday that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor "has your back."
The remark quickly stirred criticism in the legal world, since Biden was making a pledge that a fair and objective justice would not necessarily be able to keep.
Biden made the remark at an assembly of eight law enforcement groups after he detailed Sotomayor's tough-on-crime record in the courtroom.
"There's a part of her record that seems to be, up to now, been flying under the radar a bit. And that's her tough stance on criminals and her unyielding commitment to finding justice for the victims of crime," Biden said.
He then repeatedly said, "She gets it," and sought to assure the law enforcement groups that she would be on their side.
"So you all are on the front lines. But as you do your job, know that Judge Sotomayor has your back as well," Biden said. "And throughout this nomination process, I know you'll have her back."
John Wesley Hall, president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said Biden didn't do himself any favors with that remark, since it's likely to generate more critical questions for Sotomayor during confirmation hearings.
"That (comment) means that she could probably care less about civil liberties and just do whatever law enforcement wants," Hall said.
Hall said Sotomayor probably doesn't sign on to Biden's remark, though.

US Vice President Biden hits nerve in Russia (Biden: Russia is a weakened nation)
WaPo ^ | July 27, 2009 | By LYNN BERRY
Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 6:45:43 PM by Islander7
MOSCOW -- An interview U.S. Vice President Joe Biden gave to an American newspaper was front-page news Monday in Moscow, where his characterization of Russia as a weakened nation hit a raw nerve.
Biden said Russia's economic difficulties are likely to make the Kremlin more willing to cooperate with the United States on a range of national security issues.
"I think we vastly underestimate the hand that we hold," he said in an interview to The Wall Street Journal published Saturday.
Biden's comments appeared to catch the Kremlin by surprise, coming less than three weeks after President Barack Obama said on a visit to Moscow that the U.S. wants to see a "strong, peaceful and prosperous Russia."

Gaffe-prone Biden avoids weighing in on Obama verbal slip
Posted: September 17th, 2009 12:55 PM ET
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) – The famously free-wheeling Joe Biden found himself in an unaccustomed situation Thursday: asked to comment on a White House gaffe that wasn't his own.
The vice president was asked by CNN what he thought of President Obama's unguarded moment earlier this week, when he was caught calling entertainer Kanye West a "jackass" for grabbing the microphone from teenage singer Taylor Swift at MTV's Video Music Awards.
Biden responded cautiously. "I honestly didn't know that. I have no comment on that," he told CNN's Chris Lawrence, adding with a laugh: "For someone who occasionally says things that I shouldn't say, I have no comment."
How does it feel to be on the observing end of an administration verbal slip? "Well first of all, (Obama) very seldom has a slip of the tongue," said Biden. "But I really can't comment. I truly don't know the incident. I heard it for the first time from you."
Biden is in Iraq this week, his third visit to that nation so far this year.

Teenager takes Biden to task over cuss word
Posted: March 27th, 2010
(CNN) - A 17-year-old student from South Pasadena High School in California took Vice President Joe Biden to task Friday for his use of an un-choice word this week whispered into the ear of President Barack Obama.
"This is a huge deal," McKay Hatch told reporters. "Many kids and adults all over the world look up to Vice President Biden as a role model. He needs to be a good role model for kids and use clean and appropriate language."
Hatch was referring to Biden's "This is a big f............ deal" sotto-voce remark Tuesday to his boss during the signing of the health care bill that was picked up by microphones and amplified around the world.
Hatch called on Biden to apologize, then packed a "No Cussing Club" T-shirt, wrist bands and penalty jar into a box and carried it to the local post office, cameras documenting his every move and utterance. His goal: "to remind him to use good language."
Hatch said he was not opposed to Biden exercising his First Amendment rights. "He has the freedom of speech to say what he wants, but he can't choose the consequences of what he says," the student said. "We need as a country to get back to the basic values and come together and treat people with civility."
Hatch acknowledged that even he is not perfect. "I'm just trying to ask him, you know, think about what you're saying next time. This is about self-control. He's doing a good job; I'm just asking him, you know, try a
little harder."
Hatch's Web site, nocussing.com, claims more than 35,000 members and lists his more than 100 appearances on local and national television programs.
It also sells his book "The No-Cussing Club" ($19.95 + $5.50 postage and handling) and his DVD "The Story of the No-Cussing Club ($29.95 +$6 postage and handling) for sale.

Biden Says Brussels Could Be 'Capital of the Free World'
FOXNews.com
It's not unheard of for Vice President Biden to get lost in the moment, but during a speech earlier this month to the European Parliament his flattery of the host may have gone a bit overboard, ceding Washington, D.C.'s role as the world's center of liberty.
It's not unheard of for Vice President Biden to get lost in the moment, but during a speech earlier this month to the European Parliament his flattery of the host may have gone a bit overboard, ceding Washington, D.C.'s role as the world's center of liberty.
The U.S. vice president, opening his address in Belgium, argued that Brussels -- considering its rich history and abundance of international institutions -- could well be the "capital of the free world."
He suggested that Washington, D.C., his home, is undeserving of that title -- notwithstanding its wealth of global organizations and the countless international summits that take place there.
"As you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington, D.C. as the 'capital of the free world,'" Biden said. "But it seems to me that in this great city, which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union, and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title."
Biden's trip to Europe in early May came in the immediate aftermath of the attempted Times Square bombing and his comings and goings were not widely reported. The above comment was made during his May 6 address to the European Parliament.
Biden used the speech to discuss tackling the threats of nuclear proliferation, climate change and international terrorism and stress the importance of the United States' alliance with Europe.
"We need each other more now than we have ever," Biden said.
Biden said he was "particularly honored" to address the body, "as a lawmaker for more than 36 years in our parliament."

List of Biden's Political Blunders
FOXNews.com
The following is a list of Vice President Biden's notable gaffes and moments of candor.
-- On May 6, 2010, Vice President Biden said in an address to the European Parliament in Belgium that Brussels could be the "capital of the free world."
The comment came at the top of a speech used to discuss the threats of nuclear proliferation, climate change and international terrorism.
"As you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington, D.C. as the 'capital of the free world,'" Biden said. "But it seems to me that in this great city, which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union, and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title."
-- On March 23, 2010, Biden stated the obvious when he told President Obama, "This is a big f---ing deal," during the bill-signing ceremony for the health insurance overhaul. Biden apparently thought the exchange was private, but the television microphones picked it up. The president must have realized what happened -- Biden later said in an interview that Obama was "laughing like the devil" after the event.
-- On March 17, 2010, Biden used a St. Patrick's Day celebration at the White House to honor the memory of the Irish prime minister's mother -- though she was alive.
"God rest her soul," Biden said as he introduced Brian Cowen and Obama. Biden quickly corrected his mistake, noting that Cowen's father, not mother, was dead.
"Wait ... your mom's still, your mom is still alive. It was your dad (who) passed. God bless her soul. I gotta get this straight," Biden said.
-- On July 16, 2009, Biden gave a blunt summation of the administration's approach to stimulus spending.
"People, when I say that, look at me and say, 'What are you talking about, Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?" he said at a stop in Virginia. "The answer is yes."
-- On July 5, 2009, in an interview with ABC's "This Week," Biden conceded that the White House team "misread how bad the economy was." His confession came as unemployment hit 9.5 percent, despite the administration's insistence that it would hold to 8 percent with the stimulus plan.
-- On April 30, 2009, Biden gave advice on dealing with swine flu that seemed to contradict President Obama's warning not to panic. Speaking on NBC's "Today," Biden, a longtime Amtrak rider who has commuted for decades daily from Delaware to Washington, D.C., said he wouldn't advise family necessarily against going to Mexico, the source of the H1N1 outbreak, but he wouldn't tell them to get into any small area like a subway car, automobile, classroom or airplane.
"I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places right now," Biden said. "It's not that its going to Mexico, it's that you are in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft. That's me."
-- On March 13, 2009, Biden addressed a former Senate colleague by saying, "An hour late, oh give me a f----ing break," after he arrived on Amtrak at Union Station in Washington, D.C. The vice president's expletive was caught on a live microphone.
-- During a Feb. 25, 2009, interview on CBS' "Early Show," Biden encouraged viewers to visit a government-run Web site that tracks stimulus spending. When asked for the site's web address, Biden could not remember the site's "number."
"You know, I'm embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number?" he asked an aide standing out of view. "I should have it in front of me and I don't. I'm actually embarrassed."
-- At a Jan. 30, 2009, swearing-in ceremony of senior White House staff, Biden mocked Chief Justice John Roberts for his presidential oath blunder on Inauguration Day.
"Am I doing this again?" Biden said, after Obama asked him to administer the oath. When Biden was told the swearing-in was for senior staff -- and not cabinet members -- the vice president quipped, "My memory is not as good as Justice Roberts," prompting a stern nudge from Obama.
-- On Inauguration Day, Jan. 20 2009, Biden misspoke when he told a cheering crowd of supporters, "Jill and I had the great honor of standing on that stage, looking across at one of the great justices, Justice Stewart." Justice John Paul Stevens -- not Stewart -- swore Biden in as vice president.
-- When criticizing former GOP nominee John McCain in Athens, Ohio, on Oct. 15, 2008, Biden said, "Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs."
-- In a Sept. 22, 2008, CBS interview, Biden misspoke when he said Franklin D. Roosevelt was president when the stock market crashed in 1929.
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened," he said.
Herbert Hoover -- not Roosevelt -- was president in 1929, and television had not yet been invented in 1929.
-- During a Sept. 12, 2008, speech in Columbia, Mo., Biden called for Missouri State Sen. Chuck Graham, who is wheelchair-bound, to "stand up."
"Oh, God love ya," Biden said, after realizing his mistake. "What am I talking about?"
-- At a Sept. 10, 2008, town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H., Biden said, "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me."
-- Biden mistakenly referred to Alaska governor Sarah Palin as the "lieutenant governor" of her state during a town hall meeting on Sept. 4, 2008 at George Mason University in Manassas, Va.
"I heard a very, by the way I mean this sincerely, a very strong and a very good political speech from a lieutenant governor of Alaska who I think is going to be very formidable, very formidable not only in the campaign but in the debate," Biden said.
-- Biden said he was running for president -- not vice president -- during a Sept. 1, 2008, roundtable discussion in Scranton, Pa.
"Today is the moment for me as a United States senator running for president to put aside the national politics and focus on what's happening down there," Biden said.
-- Biden referred to John McCain as "George" during his vice presidential acceptance speech on Aug. 27, 2008, at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Co. "Freudian slip, folks, Freudian slip," he explained.
-- Biden confused army brigades with battalions when speaking about Obama's plan for sending troops to Afghanistan.
"Or should we trust Barack Obama, who more than a year ago called for sending two additional combat brigades to Afghanistan?"
-- During his first campaign rally with Obama as his vice presidential running mate on Aug. 23, 2008, Biden introduced Obama by saying, "A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States -- Barack America!"
-- On Jan. 31, 2007 -- the day Biden announced his presidential bid -- the Delaware Senator was roundly criticized for calling Obama "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Republicans Mad Biden Used 'Blitzkrieg' to Describe Campaign Tactics
Published July 01, 2010
FoxNews.com
Republicans are accusing Democrats of invoking Nazis after Vice President Biden sent out a fundraising message warning of the looming "GOP blitzkrieg" of dirty campaign tactics.
The e-mail was sent via the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. In it, Biden warned that House Democrats would "be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and Tea Party disruptions."
Republicans took exception at the characterization, given that "blitzkrieg" was a term to describe Germany's military offensives during World War II. A spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner told The New York Daily News that "invoking the Nazis' crimes against humanity in a political debate is simply inappropriate."
Invoking Nazism and the Holocaust has become a common rhetorical war-fighting tactic since last summer's health care debate. But while the word blitzkrieg, which literally means "lightning war," was used to describe the Germans' lethal combination of tanks, troops and fighter planes during World War II, it has since become anglicized. The shortened form of the word, blitz, is commonly used in sports and other settings to describe any intense campaign or attack.

Biden says Bush deserves 'a lot of credit'
Posted: September 9th, 2010
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) - While President Obama took a measured tone in referencing his predecessor during the Oval Office address on Iraq last month, Vice President Biden appeared to go considerably further Thursday in his praise of former President Bush.
"I've never known a time when you didn't care about what happened. We disagreed on policy. You deserve a lot of credit, Mr. President," Biden, looking straight into the camera, told Bush during an appearance on The Colbert Report Wednesday night.
"Mr. President, thank you," Biden also said. "You've honored these guys. You've honored these women. You've honored these troops."
The comments surpassed those of Obama, who, in his address announcing the end of combat missions in Iraq, thanked the former president for supporting the troops but refrained from crediting him for his role in conducting the war – specifically his implementation of the surge strategy in 2007 that is widely credited with improving security conditions in the country.
The move riled many Republicans who say the risky strategy - which both Obama and Biden opposed when they were presidential candidates during the early stages of the 2008 race for the White House - was vital to bringing about an end to the conflict.
Biden also tried out a new gig Wednesday night, delivering hot dogs to Iraq War veterans in the show's audience – a move that was played off as a surprise to the mock conservative talk-show host:
"Hey, hot dog guy!" Colbert yelled.
"Hey, man – to you, it's Mr. Vice President hot dog guy!" said Biden, revealing his face. "Read your Constitution, man," Biden continued. "I got two constitutional duties."
"I thought it was just breaking ties in the senate?" Colbert responded.
"No, the other was giving hot dogs to returning warriors," said Biden.

Biden riles the crowd: 'You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to'
By Jordan Fabian - 10/07/10 02:48 PM ET
Vice President Joe Biden got a laugh from his audience at a Wisconsin fundraising event Thursday when he tried to rile the crowd about the economic collapse of 2008.
“We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin, not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!” he said to a silent room at the event for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tom Barrett, according to a White House pool report.
He continued, saying, “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to," at which point he got applause and laughs. "Do you realize how many jobs Wisconsin lost? It’s staggering!"
Biden and President Obama have made frequent campaign stops in recent weeks in an attempt to jolt Democrats who are lagging Republicans in voter enthusiasm measures, in part due to the slowing pace of the economic recovery under the administration's watch.
Biden's appearance Thursday was in the state capital of Madison, which hosted a crowd of 26,000 to see President Obama speak at rally targeted at young voters the week prior.
The vice president has argued at previous events that Democrats have begun to reverse the momentum that had them sliding to large losses on Election Day. He has also taken several pointed shots at the GOP, jokingly saying this week that he would "strangle" Republicans who talk about the deficit.
On Thursday, he took a jab at the House GOP's "Pledge to America," governing agenda.
“The pledge half baked … folks, we’ve been in that oven before," he said. "This pledge is a threat to America."

According to your own article he got some laughs out of it... doesn't really seem like he put his foot in his mouth.
come on - that is utterly ridiculous thing to say on bidens' part.
-
According to your own article he got some laughs out of it... doesn't really seem like he put his foot in his mouth.
Not my article, and I wasn't there, but not something he should have said to an audience IMO. Also, the article mentions him joking about strangling Republicans. He's a walking gaffe machine.
-
Then why did the audience laugh at it?
If it was soooo bad, then wouldn't everyone had just sat there?
Obviously the crowd was quiet so he was trying to pump them up... It got a reaction, a laugh. That is a POSITIVE reaction.
Very common reaction. I'm sure some of it was nervous laughter. People had to be caught off guard.
One example, do you recall when Limbaugh was on ESPN and made his dumb comments about McNabb? A couple of the commentators actually laughed at his comments. Happens a lot.
-
Here is the full comment about strangling.
If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them,” Biden said at a fundraiser in Minnesota, according to a pool report. “To the press, that’s a figure of speech.”
President Obama and other members of the administration have ridiculed Republicans as trying to have it both ways on budget issues. For all the GOP's complaints about the ballooning deficit over the past 20 months, Democrats charge, their plan to extend all tax cuts for top earners would add hundreds of billions to the debt.
“These guys have absolutely no credibility, no credibility on debt,” Biden said.
But Republicans argue that the administration has been reckless in its handling of the economy, pointing foremost to the administration's $787 billion stimulus plan, which Republicans assert has not created jobs at a massive cost to taxpayers.
He immediately following the statement, said “To the press, that’s a figure of speech.”
That's not really a threat... Are republicans pussies now?
Seriously?
Um, I said it was joke. I don't think anyone is disputing that. It was just another in a long line of dumb comments from Biden.
-
Nope... Didn't hear it. However, you're making an assumption about the audience that you truly don't know and you're tossing it in a thread about OBVIOUS gaffs that Biden has made... This isn't one of them... Sorry Beach.
Doesn't seem dumb to me... Shit, maybe we should strangle some people around Capital Hill... There's a lot of people I'd probably strangle if I thought I could get away with it.
Yes, I'm making an assumption, just like you are.
There are a lot of things I would say in private that I would never say in front of an audience. After all his years in public service, Biden still hasn't learned that distinction.

Biden with the one liners.

Biden: Obama viewed as aloof because he’s ’so brilliant’
The Daily Caller ^ | 11-19-10 | Jonathan Strong
The vice president is a talker, and then some. But in a new interview with GQ, he managed some gems, even for Joe Biden.
For instance, reporter Lisa DePaulo pressed Biden repeatedly on why President Obama isn’t connecting with the American public and is instead viewed as professorial and aloof. “So what is it?” asked DePaulo.
“I think what it is, is he’s so brilliant. He is an intellectual,” Biden said.
Also, Obama has a “blind faith” in the American public’s ability to understand the benefits of his policies. “[He says] ‘No. The American people get this. Just tell them. Just go out there and do the right thing’,” Biden said.
Biden went on to explain how Obama’s childhood shows he does, in fact, deeply understand the American public. “Look, think about the guy. This is an African American who had a Caucasian mother, raised in a Caucasian neighborhood by Caucasian grandparents. Talk about a guy who knows what it’s like. This is a guy who gets it,” Biden said.
Less importantly, but more hilariously, Biden revealed his dad failed utterly in imparting a key lesson on his young Pennsylvanian son.

[LARRY] KING: We're back with Joe Biden, the vice president.
The former Guantanamo detainee is tried on a -- in a civilian court. He's acquitted on all but one of 280 charges. The other side says he should have been found guilty on all of them. One side said, though, if it's a result of terror, you can't introduce it in court.
Where do you stand?
JOE BIDEN: Well, if it's a result of torture --
KING: Torture, I'm sorry.
JOE BIDEN: Look, the fact of the matter is what's going to happen to him, he's going to go to jail for a minimum of 20 years to life. Had he been tried in a tribunal, which some of the critics say he should have been tried in a military tribunal, the same evidence -- and they voted for the change in the rule of the tribunal, the same evidence would have been inadmissible.
If we held them, as some have suggested on the right, just held them indefinitely as a -- as a -- basically a detainee, a prisoner of war, the idea that Guantanamo is going to be around in 50 years and him still in jail with -- I think our bets are better.
This proves what exactly what George Bush did. When you go to so-called Article 3 courts, that is try in federal courts, all this stuff was you can't try them in federal courts, you've got to worry about terrorists attacking the court. You can't try him in federal courts, they're not going to get sentenced.
He's getting a longer sentence. He'll be in jail longer than if any other method were tried. Same thing George Bush did with the shoe bomber. Same thing he did with the 24th hijacker.
KING: So you're saying, in the future, with others, you would go civilian court?
JOE BIDEN: Yes. There's no reason not to go with civilian court based on this case at least.
. . . .

What a clown.
-
I don't see what's so "weird" about this.
He's not saying something that so off the wall.
Reach much?
I didn't say his comments were "weird."
-
You're saying this was a foot in mouth? I don't understand why?
This is the part I have a problem with:
KING: So you're saying, in the future, with others, you would go civilian court?
JOE BIDEN: Yes. There's no reason not to go with civilian court based on this case at least.
Ridiculous. Nearly all of the government's case was wiped out.
-
So because you have a problem with it, he put his foot in his mouth... Gotcha.
Lots of people think civil trials are the way to go... Some think Military tribunals.
I think you just have a hard on for Joe Biden and can't help but say his name.

Biden Predicts 500,000 Jobs Created a Month Soon

________________________ ________________________ _________
Vice President Biden predicted Friday at a Pennsylvania fundraiser that the U.S. economy would be adding up to 500,000 jobs each month "some time in the next couple of months."
"All in all we're going to be creating somewhere between 100[,000] and 200,000 jobs next month, I predict," Biden said, according to a pool report, adding that he "got in trouble" for a job growth prediction last month. "Even some in the White House said, 'Hey, don't get ahead of yourself.' Well, I'm here to tell you, some time in the next couple of months, we're going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month."
"We caught a lot of bad breaks on the way down," Biden added. "We're going to catch a few good breaks because of good planning on the way up."
Most forecasters had expected about 200,000 new jobs to be created in March. Instead, a total of 162,000 new jobs were created on non-farm payrolls -- the biggest one-month jobs gain in the past three years, but still well below what economists were predicting.

Joe Biden says troops will leave Afghanistan by 2014 'come hell or high water'
Vice President Joe Biden has promised that all American troops will leave Afghanistan within four years, stating that "we're going to be totally out of there, come hell or high water, by 2014".
By Toby Harnden, Washington 4:56PM GMT 20 Dec 2010
The statement went much further than any other American official and appeared to contradict President Barack Obama, who said just last month that there would be a reduced number of troops by 2014 but exact force levels were undecided.
Mr Biden, who has long had a reputation for speaking carelessly, also told NBC's "Meet the Press" programme that the start of the Afghanistan withdrawal in July 2011 would involve a significant drawdown.
"We are going to, come July, begin to draw down American forces" and begin to transfer responsibility to the Afghans," he said. "It will not be a token amount."
He presented next July as the beginning of a process that would see all US troops leave by the end of 2014.
"We're starting it in July of 2011 and we're going to be totally out of there, come hell or high water, by 2014."
Until now, the Obama administration has gone no further than saying that responsibility for security would be handed over to Afghan forces throughout the country by the end of 2014, as was agreed by Nato at last month's Lisbon conference.
Few if any military planners believe that all American troops will be out of Afghanistan within four years. Most anticipate that even under a best-case scenario tens of thousands are likely to remain to assist the Afghan army.
Mr Biden said that al-Qaeda's strength had "been significantly degraded" because of American actions against the network's leadership.
But, he conceded, there had been less success in countering the Afghan insurgency and creating a stable Afghan government. He admitted that the Taliban continued to make use of safe havens in Pakistan.
"We're making progress on all fronts, more in some areas than in others. Are we making sufficient progress fast enough? The answer remains to be seen," he said.

What a fucking piece shit. You keep this stuff to yourself as telling the enemy exactly when you are leaving no matter the conditions on the ground goes a long way in completely hamstringing the war effort. Which Afghan villager is going to help the ISAF now? Now that the Taliban etc know when the U.S. is out....well you get the point.
If you are going to be a total piece of shit and say this stuff, that no matter what the conditions are and what is at stake you will be leaving no matter what, than just pull the fuck out know. What is the point of staying for another 4 years if you just told your enemy when you will be pulling out of the theatre.
So fucking dumb. This idiot is our Vice President.

Biden urges justice for Khodor... um... Kovinsky!
(AFP) – 3 hours ago
MOSCOW — Known for sometime sticking his foot in his mouth, US Vice President Joe Biden delivered another trademark gaffe Thursday by mangling the name of Russia's most famous prisoner Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
In a somber 40-minute address to Moscow State University students that generated more giggles than rounds of applause, Biden tried to bash Russia for putting Khodorkovsky behind bars on what many believe are politically motivated charges.
At least that was the intent.
What came out was one of the more sensitive moments in recent Russia-US relations in which the entire hall seemed ready to help the desperately struggling US vice president pronounce Khodorkovsky's name.
"Over the past few months our administration has spoken out against allegations of misconduct in the trial of... of, uh... the, um... excuse me... Khodor... Kovinsky," said Biden, almost barking out the last word.
But Biden recovered quickly, adding a self-depreciating joke that instantly endeared him to the crowd.
"You can tell I did not do very well in Russian," Biden said sheepishly.
But Biden closed on a rousing note, generating his first and only applause of the night by saying that he had no intention of hiding his displeasure over Khodorkovsky's treatment and other alleged rights abuses.
"Some of you may say, well how can you say those things outloud, mister vice president, and expect a better relationship. They are necessary, to have a good relationship," Biden said, getting his only applause of the night.

In jail since 2003 for fraud and tax evasion, a Moscow court in December extended the former Yukos oil executive's sentence until 2017 after also finding Khodorkovsky guilty of money laundering and embezzlement.

Biden mentions rape in criticizing Republicans
The Hill ^ | 3/18/11 | Sam Youngman
Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at a fundraiser in Philadelphia Friday, compared Republicans in Congress to people who excuse rapists by blaming their victims.
The vice president, known for speaking his mind and at times putting his foot in his mouth, said that Republicans who want to cut spending while at the same time cutting taxes for the wealthy are similar to rape apologists. In setting up his comparison, the vice president explained to the audience that before the Violence Against Women Act that he championed was passed into law, “there was this attitude in our society of blaming the

Biden Likens GOP Economic Strategy to Blaming Rape Victims
Published March 19, 2011
FoxNews.com
Ratcheting up the rhetoric in the Washington budget battle, Vice President Biden on Friday likened the Republican strategy of seeking to slash federal spending while championing tax breaks for the wealthy to rape victims being blamed for the rape.
At a lavish Philadelphia fundraising luncheon that raised $400,000 for Democratic congressional campaigns, Biden began his attack on Republicans by crediting the 1994 Violence Against Women Act that he and former Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter (who was in attendance) authored for changing society's attitude about blaming rape victims.
"When a woman got raped, blame her because she was wearing a skirt too short, she looked the wrong way or she wasn't home in time to make dinner," he said. "We've gotten by that."
Then Biden turned his focus to the current spending debate in which Democrats and Republicans are fighting over how much to cut from the federal budget.
"But it's amazing how these Republicans, the right wing of this party – whose philosophy threw us into this godawful hole we're in, gave us the tremendous deficit we've inherited – that they're now using the very economic condition they have created to blame the victim – whether it's organized labor or ordinary middle-class working men and women," he said.
"It's bizarre," he added.
Biden's comments came on the same day that President Obama signed another stopgap measure to keep the government running for another three weeks. The measure cuts $6 billion in spending – on top of the $4 billion in cuts from a two-week extension passed earlier this month -- and buys the White House and congressional leaders more time to negotiate a larger bill to cover the daily operations of the government through the end of September.
Republicans, alarmed over record deficits and debt, want to cut $61.5 billion from current spending levels while Democrats, seeking to protect what they see as critical programs, want to cut far less.
If the two sides aren't able to reach an agreement, a partial government shutdown looms April 8.
A bipartisan group of 64 senators – 32 in each party – sent a letter to the president on Friday calling on him to take the lead in forging a sweeping deficit reduction plan along the lines of what his own deficit commission recommended last year. That plan called for a sweeping overhaul of the tax code that would exchange dozens of costly tax breaks for lower individual and corporate rates, cut Social Security benefits and slash spending across the budget.

Joe Biden: ‘Framers Intended to Grant Congress Power to Initiate All Hostilities, Even Limited Wars’
Cybercast News Service ^ | 3/21/11 | Terence P. Jeffrey
After studying the constitutional language governing the use of military force and the debates that the Framers had on the issue, Joe Biden determined that the Founding Fathers had vested the power to authorize even the limited use of military force in the Congress not the president---unless it was necessary for the president to act swiftly to repel an attack on the United States or to rescue U.S. citizens. Biden derided the opposite position—that the president could use military force without congressional authorization—as a “monarchist” view of presidential power. That was in 1998, however, when Biden was in the Senate.

Biden: Tea partiers like 'terrorists'
Politico ^ | 8/1/11 | JONATHAN ALLEN & JOHN BRESNAHAN
Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit.
Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.
“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”
Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists,” according to several sources in the room.

In China, Biden pulls punches, not punch lines

BEIJING | Fri Aug 19, 2011 9:00am EDT
BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, in China on a five-day charm mission, has worked hard with his hosts to inject a little amity into the sometimes fractious relationship, pulling punches but not his punch lines.
On Thursday, China's vice president and likely leader-in-waiting, Xi Jinping, met Biden at the Great Hall of the People.
"Good to see you again," Xi said. "I know you are very busy with national affairs at home."
"You ARE national affairs," Biden told his counterpart from the United States' largest creditor.
After on a stroll up the red carpet, Biden found a familiar face during introductions to the Chinese delegation.
"Remember what I told you last time: if I had hair like yours I'd be president," the 68-year-old VP with a well-groomed but receding silver hairline said.
Pleasantries out of the way, Xi and Biden got down to real issues -- shoring up prospects for Sino-American relations and offering a dose of optimism about the U.S. economy.
Then it was time for lunch. But Biden was chicken when it came to having guts.
Eating at a tiny Beijing restaurant renowned for its fried liver and pig intestines, the vice president balked: "Noodles or dumplings."
That meal for five, which included the new U.S. ambassador to China Gary Locke and Biden's granddaughter, cost about 79 yuan ($12), and seemed to have struck the right chord with Chinese microbloggers.
By noon the next day tens of thousands had weighed in on the lunch, many admiring the careful choreography to show how wisely Americans spend their money. Lend away, China.
After a good meal, it was back to business at the Great Hall, where he met with the Chairman of China's National People's Congress, Wu Bangguo.
Biden apologized to members of the Chinese delegation who had to listen to him speak "again and again and again."
He did not, however, apologize to the media.
Wu reminisced about the two leaders' last meeting in D.C.
"I remember I said to you back then that your office was exquisite, but not very big," Wu said.
"Very diplomatic," Biden quipped.
More diplomatic, anyway, than the Georgetown Hoyas and China's Bayi Military Rockets basketball teams, who ended a "friendly" match that night across town, not with Biden-esque jokes off the cuff, but with fisticuffs.
Best to leave the diplomacy to the professionals, who know the value of a little self-deprecating office humor.
"I used to have an important job when I was chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee," Biden told Wu. "I had a big office, large staff. Then I became vice president."
Members of the press pool speculated that joke, at least, may have been lost in translation.

Joe Biden Says He Has Been Able 'to Literally Meet Every Major World Leader in the Last 38 Years'
The Telegraph ^ | August 21st, 2011 | Toby Harnden
Posted on August 21, 2011 10:59:17 PM EDT by nickcarraway
Vice President Joe Biden may have managed to cure his own stammer but he still appears to be pathologically incapable of speaking of his own accomplishments without exaggerating. In an address he made today to students at Sichuan University in China today (full text, as emailed out by the White House, here), he stated that he has had “an opportunity to literally meet every major world leader in the last 38 years”.
The statement came in response to a questioner who praised him as an “accomplished public speaker” and asked him about the role public speaking had played in his life. First, Biden compared himself to King George VI, apart from ”the royal blood and the money”:
I don’t know whether you’ve had an opportunity to see a movie that has gotten worldwide circulation called “The King’s Speech”. Well, but for the royal blood and the money, that could have been me. I was a serious stutterer when I was in school as a child, as a high school student, and even into college. And I practiced very, very hard by myself, standing in front of a mirror, trying to annunciate without contorting my face.
Having promised to “order my thoughts here to make this as brief as I can”, Biden went on a rambling meditation about how ”the most important thing to look to in a leader’s speech is not the elegance or the rhetorical flourish of his or her comments, but the judgment of whether or not you believe they are sincere in what they’re saying”. Which could sound to some like a veiled shot at Obama.
Next, Biden provoked laughter by imitating a stammerer and then says that it is offensive to laugh. Then he professed himself to be embarrassed that he cannot speak Chinese:

Biden Receives Mongolian Horse, Names It 'Celtic'
August 22, 2011 10:40 AM
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/08/biden-receives-mongolian-horse-names-it-celtic-.html
ABC News’ Devin Dwyer (@devindwyer) reports: Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, today where his hosts celebrated the first visit by a U.S. vice president since 1944 with performances of traditional music and dance, a Mongol-style wrestling competition and a gift: a Mongolian horse.
"The horse is the most important animal in Mongolia,” an aide traveling with Biden told reporters. “It is the lifeblood of the country (nomadic history), so giving a horse is one of the most meaningful gifts that can be given."
During the presentation ceremony, U.S. Ambassador Jonathan Addleton placed a blue ribbon around the horse’s neck, and Biden tied two knots in it -- a symbolic display meant to signal importance. Biden said that he named the horse “Celtic.”
But the horse apparently did not respond in kind.
Press pool accounts of the moment said the horse “got a bit excited” by Biden’s gesture and had to be taken away. (Aides said it would not be returning to the U.S. on Air Force 2.)
When asked later to explain what happened, Biden said the animal "reared up" on him and concluded that it must not have liked "the Irish epitaph."
After the ceremony, Biden posed for photos with two Mongolian camels and tried his hand at archery. He later departed for Tokyo, Japan -- the last stop on his week-long swing through East Asia.

Joe Biden: 'I Fully Understand' China's One Child Policy
Weekly Standard ^ | Aug 22, 2011 | MARK HEMINGWAY
Good news, reproductive rights advocates and neo-Malthusian environmentalists! Vice President Joe Biden has no problem with the government forcibly sterilizing people and compelling abortions. From his remarksat Sichuan University in Chengdu, China yesterday discussing the U.S. debt:
What we ended up doing is setting up a system whereby we did cut by $1.2 trillion upfront, the deficit over the next 10 years. And we set up a group of senators that have to come up with another $1.2 to $1.7 trillion in savings or automatically there will be cuts that go into effect in January to get those savings. So the savings will be accomplished. But as I was talking to some of your leaders, you share a similar concern here in China. You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I’m not second-guessing -- of one child per family. The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.
So hopefully we can act in a way on a problem that's much less severe than yours, and maybe we can learn together from how we can do that.
It's perfectly understandable that you let the government tell you how many children you could have if that helps get the debt under control, right? Republicans better get together and compromise on the president's grand bargain sometime soon, or else.

In the wake of an onslaught of criticism for Vice President Joe Biden’s comments in China about “not second guessing” the country’s one-child policy, the Obama administration has issued a statement of clarification.
“The Obama Administration strongly opposes all aspects of China’s coercive birth limitation policies, including forced abortion and sterilization,” Biden’s spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff told The Daily Caller in an email. “The Vice President believes such practices are repugnant.”
Barkoff explained that Biden was attempting to critique the restrictive system with his comments.

Angry Joe Biden Email Asks for Donations: "What's Stopping You... Get Off the Sidelines"
Pundit Press ^ | 9/30/11 | Aurelius
Yesterday we covered the fact that a mass Obama 2012 email tried to passively-aggressively guilt people into donating to the President's campaign. Today, it looks like they're a bit angry. In a new mass email, Vice President Joe Biden asks people accusingly, "What's stopping you, right now?"
It's an odd email, to be sure. Here are the oddest parts (emphasis mine):
Subject: What's stopping you, right now?...
If you know you're going to donate to this campaign eventually, what's stopping you from doing it right now?
If you're going to be a part of history in 2012, it's time to get off the sidelines...
And what you're capable of is incredible -- if you decide to do it.
Please, Mr. Vice President, stop talking down to all of us.

Biden on U.S. Economy: ‘We Have Turned It Around’
CNSNews ^
Posted on October 6, 2011 7:49:58 PM EDT by Sub-Driver
Biden on U.S. Economy: ‘We Have Turned It Around’ October 6, 2011
(CNSNews.com) – When pressed by NBC Meet the Press moderator David Gregory about the Obama administration’s role in the current state of the U.S. economy, Vice President Joe Biden said, “We have turned it around,” adding that Americans believe the Bush administration “got us in this trouble.”
Biden was interviewed as part of The Atlantic magazine and the Aspen Institute’s Washington Ideas Forum on Thursday at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Gregory asked: “Let me ask you about accountability when it comes to the economy. The president’s job approval rating stands at 42 percent -- the view of his, and by extension your, handling of the economy is pretty low. Now, either the big efforts that you have made as an administration turned the economy around or they didn’t -- and they appeared to not have done that. Either you’re accountable or there’s only so much government can do.”
Biden responded by saying that “a clear majority” of the American people blame their financial straights on the last administration.
“They understand what got us in this trouble,” Biden said.
He acknowledged that the Obama administration is now “in charge.”
“We are in charge,” Biden said. “We have turned it [the economy] around.”

Biden Evokes Sexual, Violent Imagery Again in Push for $447 Jobs Bill
Published October 19, 2011
FoxNews.com
Vice President Biden is stepping up his argument that rapes and murders could increase if Congress does not pass President Obama’s $447 billion jobs bill – evoking sexual and violent imagery in his sales pitch for the second time in a week.
Speaking to Philadelphia police officers Tuesday at the University of Pennsylvania, Biden slammed Republican critics who say the jobs bill is just “temporary,” underscoring measures aimed at maintaining police force levels.
“Let me tell you, it’s not temporary when that 9-1-1 call comes in and a woman’s being raped. If a cop shows up in time to prevent the rape, it’s not temporary to that woman,” Biden said with his voice rising. “It’s not temporary to the guy whose store is being held up and has a gun being pointed to his head if a cop shows up and he’s not killed. That’s not temporary to that store owner. Give me a break -- temporary.
“I wish these guys who thought it was temporary, I wish they had some notion what it’s like be on the other side of a gun or a 200-pound man standing over you telling you to submit,” he added. “Folks, it matters. It matters.”
Last Wednesday, Biden suggested during a speech in Flint, Mich., that rapes and murders could rise if the jobs bill failed to pass Congress.
The Republican National Committee released a memo calling Biden’s comments “irresponsible and mean-spirited” and calling on the media and women’s groups to condemn the remarks.
“No victim of violent crime would ever wish that others were forced to experience the same trauma they went through – especially to make a brazen political point. So why would the sitting vice president of the United States?”
“Our economy is hurting and the Obama administration’s policies have only prolonged the pain, but that is no excuse for Vice President Biden to wish his political opponents to be subjected to rape or have a gun held to their head,” the RNC said. “Victims of violent crime should never be used for political gain.”
Biden’s comments came after the Democratic-controlled Senate defeated the bill last Tuesday. The White House is pushing Congress to pass the bill piece-by-piece.
The first piece is a $35 billion bill that Senate Democrats proposed on Monday that would provide $30 billion in aid for state and local governments to help keep about 400,000 teachers on the job and another $5 billion to help cities retain about 18,000 police officers and 7,000 firefighters.
But Senate Republicans are expected to block that bill too. They are pushing their own bill that includes tax reform, a balanced budget amendment, a repeal of the federal health care law and lifting prohibitions on offshore drilling – provisions that most Democrats don’t support.
Obama went to rural Virginia on Wednesday as part of his tour pitching the bill and trashing the GOP plan for creating jobs.
“Let me repeat, dirtier air, dirtier water, repealing health care and ending rules on Wall Street is not a jobs plan,” he told firefighters.
Since he addressed a joint session of Congress to announce his jobs plan last month, Obama has given remarks supporting the bill every two days, visiting a new state to pitch it every six days.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid accused Republicans of putting their political interests ahead of the country’s.
“Republicans’ No. 1 priority is to defeat President Obama, and their strategy is to keep the economy weak as long as possible,” he said. “So they oppose legislation we know beyond a shadow of a doubt will support 400,000 American jobs without adding a penny to the deficit.”
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday Obama needs to “park the campaign bus, shelve the talking points and focus on jobs."
“It’s completely preposterous at a time when 14 million Americans are looking for a job in this country for the president to be riding around on a bus saying we should raise taxes – on the very folks who create jobs,” he said on the Senate floor.
“Let’s drop the talking points about millionaires and billionaires,” he said.

Biden: Because of Bush Administration and Wall Street ‘People Died' and ‘Homes Burned’

Biden: Because of Bush Administration and Wall Street ‘People Died' and ‘Homes Burned’ By Elizabeth Harrington October 19, 2011 Subscribe to Elizabeth Harrington's posts
(CNSNews.com) - Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that “people died” and “people’s homes burned to the ground,” because the Bush administration allowed “God-awful Ponzi schemes” on Wall Street.
Speaking at a rally to promote a piecemeal provision of President Obama’s jobs proposal, Biden told police and firefighters that the budget shortfalls of state and local governments were not attributable to state and local governments.
“Those of you know it’s not really the fault of your mayor or your government,” the vice president said. “Some are more sympathetic than others, but the bottom line is they don’t have the money because of this God-awful mess we got put in.
“In many cities the result has been--and it’s not unique--murder rates are up, robberies are up, rapes are up. And folks, there’s a simple reason for that. It’s been a perfect storm out there from the God-awful Ponzi schemes that the last outfit allowed Wall Street to engage in, resulted in this gigantic collapse of the financial industry.”

Reporter who bugged Biden: ‘They’re suggesting that my credentials get yanked’ for ‘rape’ question
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/2011 | Matthew Boyle
Vice President Joe Biden’s office has asked the U.S. Senate Press Gallery to investigate conservative journalist Jason Mattera’s tactics during a recent interview, a process that could result in his press credentials being revoked, The Daily Caller has learned.
Mattera, the editor of Human Events and a widely known video ambush interviewer, caught Biden by surprise after asking if he would pose together for a joint picture. While embracing the vice president for the photo, Mattera asked Biden if he “regret using a rape reference to describe Republican opposition to the president’s bill.”
Because none of those parties are answering any questions, it’s unclear what specific rules Biden’s office is alleging Mattera broke. Mattera said these allegations are nothing more than a deflection tactic.

Biden: Obama Can't Win Without Florida
Saturday, 29 Oct 2011
By Gary Cohen
Vice President Joe Biden says there will be no second term in office if President Barack Obama doesn't win Florida, according to a report in The Hill.
Biden made two key stops in Florida yesterday, going on the attack against the Republican Party concerning the deficit.
"I find it absolutely bizarre, Republicans moralizing about deficits. That's a little like an arsonist moralizing about fire safety. These guys have zero credibility," he told a Florida Democratic Party fundraising dinner at Walt Disney World.
"We plan on winning Florida. We can't win without Florida," added Biden at the dinner.
Earlier yesterday, the vice president told the Florida Education Convention in Orlando the GOP is "using an international crisis and a recession caused by the policies they created in order to shift in an organized effort to place the blame for budget shortfalls squarely on teachers."
While not mentioning Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott by name, Biden a number of times said "your governor" when speaking about recent efforts in Florida and other states to curb the collective bargaining rights and pay of public employee unions.
At the party fundraiser, the vice president accused the GOP of "playing roulette with the national debt."
"They didn't want to just stop what we were doing. They wanted to undo everything we had done," Biden added.
He then used the phrase "Republican obstructionism" in rhetorically asking whether GOP positions on the economy are based on ideology or policy.
"I know one thing. It doesn't matter which it is. They're standing in the way of progress," charged the vice president
Emphasizing the importance of winning Florida, this was the third visit to Florida in October by the administration.
The president headlined a fundraiser in Orlando October 11th and First Lady Michelle Obama attended fundraisers in Jacksonville, Davie and Tampa on Thursday.
Biden told the party fundraiser gathering yesterday that Floridians were going to be seeing a lot of him in the months to come.
"The states I am going to be concentrating on are Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire and Iowa and I am going to be here a lot."
Biden could also have been looking past the 2012 election in his visit.
His stop came just days after an interview with CNN in which he did not close the door on the possibility of making another run of his own for the White House in 2016.

White House Stands by Biden Statement That Taliban Isn't U.S. Enemy
Published December 19, 2011
FoxNews.com
The White House on Monday defended Vice President Joe Biden for saying that the Taliban isn't an enemy of the United States despite the years spent fighting the militant Islamic group that gave a home to Al Qaeda and its leader Usama bin Laden while he plotted the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
"It's only regrettable when taken out of context," White House spokesman Jay Carney said of the vice president's remarks in an interview published Monday.
"It is a simple fact that we went into Afghanistan because of the attack on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. We are there now to ultimately defeat Al Qaeda, to stabilize Afghanistan and stabilize it in part so that Al Qaeda or other terrorists who have as their aim attacks on the United States cannot establish a foothold again in that country," Carney continued.
During Biden's interview with Newsweek last week, the vice president said it's "good enough" for the U.S. if Afghanistan stops being a "haven for people who do damage and have as a target the United States of America" and its allies. He added that the U.S. is supportive of a reconciliation process between the Afghan government and the Taliban even if it's questionable whether a reconciliation is possible.
"Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That's critical," Biden said. "There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy, because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us."
Biden said that the U.S. is on a dual track in Afghanistan -- keep the pressure on Al Qaeda and support a government that is strong enough to "negotiate with and not be overthrown by the Taliban."
Carney said the U.S. did not send the military into Afghanistan because the Taliban were in power, and the vice president's point was that "while we are fighting them, it is not the elimination -- the elimination of the Taliban is not the issue here."
Indeed, the U.S. entered Afghanistan just weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans to rid the country of Al Qaeda, whose leader had been an invited guest and offered safe haven for years by the Taliban government that ruled Afghanistan with an iron fist.
Today, fewer than 200 Al Qaeda terrorists reportedly remain in the country. But military officials say the primary attacks against U.S. forces in Afghanistan are being conducted by fighters loyal to the Taliban and the Taliban-tied Haqqani network, both of which are based out of neighboring Pakistan and freely cross the treacherous border.
According to Reuters, U.S. officials are hopeful that 10 months of secret negotiations with Taliban insurgents will soon result in a breakthrough that will allow the U.S. to leave Afghanistan as scheduled by 2014 without leaving the country to the whims of the hardline group.
Reuters reported Sunday the deal the U.S. is considering would include a prisoner release of Taliban detainees in Guantanamo Bay in exchange for a renunciation of violence and international terrorism, part of reconciliation talks with the government headed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
The U.S. also would offer unequivocal support for establishing a Taliban office in an Islamic country that it could use as a diplomatic headquarters, Reuters reported, and would demand preconditions such as a renunciation of violence, a break with Al Qaeda and respect for the Afghan constitution. Carney said Monday that the U.S. has been clear that those conditions "would need to be met."
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Biden's remarks -- as well as Biden's and President Obama's belief that the Taliban are not the enemy -- are "bizarre, factually wrong and an outrageous affront our troops carrying out the fight in Afghanistan." He said the comments also reflect the administration's policy of "appeasement."
"The Taliban harbored the terrorists who killed 3,000 Americans on Sept 11. The Taliban continues to wage war against us and our allies, a conflict in which we have lost over 1,800 troops. The Taliban receives arms and training from Iran. And the Taliban seeks to reinstate a tyrannical government that violently rejects basic notions of human rights and oppresses minorities. The Taliban is clearly a bitter enemy of the United States," Romney said in a statement late Monday.

Biden’s oops moment in SF: “Giants on their way to Super Bowl”
http://blog.sfgate.com/nov05election/2012/01/18/bidens-oops-moment-in-sf-giants-on-their-way-to-super-bowl
Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed San Francisco when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.”
Biden spoke at a closed event in the city’s financial District at the Bently Reserve when he made the gaffe, according to a White House pool report released today.
The comment by Biden drew immediate “good-natured” boos from the crowd, according to the report by Josh Richman of the Oakland Tribune, who was the only local print reporter allowed to cover the event.
After suggesting that the Giants were heading to the Super Bowl, Biden quickly recognized the gaffe and and explained he was accustomed to thinking in terms of the San Francisco Giants and their baseball wins. His next reference was to the “49ers on their way” to the Big Game.
Richman reported he was ushered out of the fundraiser after Biden started taking a few questions from the audience of about 110 campaign contributors. “The event raised somewhere between $275,000 and $1.1 million,” according to his report.
The event was one of several stops Biden and his wife made in the Bay Area today.
Biden plans to meet this evening with local tech leaders, including the heads of Apple, Google, Yahoo, Netflix and Zynga, but those meetings are not open to the media, the White House said.

VP Joe Biden: ‘Osama Bin Laden is dead, General Motors is alive’
NECN ^ | Thursday, February 23, 2012 | Lauren Collins
Posted on February 23, 2012 9:19:56 PM EST by kristinn
“We're gonna win because the American people understand we're about promoting the private sector, they're about protecting privilege.”
Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd of 250 volunteers and art students in Manchester, N.H. the administration and all the possible republican opponents have fundamentally different plans for the middle class. From the economy, to tax policy, from women's health care to education, Biden said the GOP candidates are playing the American people for suckers.
“It's about turning to your kid knowing, knowing their need, and knowing there's not a damn thing you can do to help them. That rips people apart. It's more than just a kid not getting to school. These guys don't get that part of it. And again they're not bad guys, but I don't believe (Mitt) Romney understands it.”
Biden admitted a lot of the President’s decisions have been unpopular but they’re finally paying off and the administrations accomplishments can be summed up on a bumper sticker.
“Osama Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive,” he told the crowd which cheered in response.
“Osama Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive,” repeated Kay Galloway outside of the event. “Republicans, beat that.”

Vice President Joe Biden often touts his working-class background, but he got the cold shoulder from some St. Patrick's Day celebrants in the state where he was born, as the crowd booed Biden towards the end of a parade in Pittsburgh.
"A chorus of boos rained down on Biden and his supporters down the last stretch; stil, Biden kept smiling," said Brandon Hudson of the local NBC affiliate.

Joe Biden Calls Bin Laden Raid The Most ‘Audacious Plan’ In 500 Years
Yahoo News ^ | 3/20/12 | Oliver Knox
Posted on March 20, 2012 1:21:49 AM EDT by Lmo56
Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was the most "audacious plan" of the past 500 years. Biden's comments, made at a Democratic fundraiser in Morris Township, NJ, ranked the May 2011 assault that ended the Al-Qaeda chief's life above the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944, the surprise landing at Inchon in 1950 that turned the tide of the Korean War or, going back a bit further, George Washington's daring night-time crossing of the Delaware River before the Battle of Trenton in 1776.

You just can't make this shit up...Hahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahaha ;D
Vice President Joe Biden described former Saturday Night Live comedian, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., as a "leading legal scholar," presumably in the Senate, today.
"He has been one of the leading legal scholars," Biden said of Franken today, according to the pool report. He also said that Franken "is deadly serious" as a senator. He made the comments while recalling concerns that then-candidate Franken could not be taken seriously as a Senate candidate given his SNL work.
Franken's comedic spirit got him in trouble on Washington. "This isn't ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Al," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had to remind the freshman senator after Franken made faces while McConnell spoke during the Supreme Court nomination process for Elena Kagan.
Kagan is now regarded as an able defender of Obamacare, which could be struck after oral arguments last month seemed to indicate that five of the nine justices regard it as unconstitutional.

Biden: ‘My Image of the Military Commander' Was 'Slim Pickens...on the Back of an Atom Bomb'

(CNSNews.com) - Vice President Joe Biden said that when he was first elected to the U.S. Senate back in 1972, his view of U.S. military commanders was epitomized by actor Slim Pickens in the movie “Dr. Strangelove,” riding an atomic bomb like a cowboy and “yelling yippee-ki-yay!”
“And I came to Washington as a 29-year-old kid," said Biden. "I got elected. Before I was eligible to serve, I had to literally wait to be sworn in because I wasn’t eligible under the Constitution. You must be 30 years old.

Joe Biden calls Mitt Romney 'President Romney'...(The box of rocks that keeps on giving...)
KFI640.com ^ | 05/07/12 | Jonathon M. Seidl
It’s almost become expected at this point. In the nearly four years he’s been in office, Vice President Joe Biden has awed the country with his gaffes (see here, here, and here, just to name a few). And on Sunday, he struck again.
During an interview with David Gregory on “Meet The Press,” Biden’s mind seemed otherwise occupied when it came to consistently and correctly referring to who he was talking about. For example, at one point, and much to the joy of Republicans, he referred to Mitt Romney as “President Romney.” But as if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, he couldn‘t seem to keep his own boss’s name straight: he also referred to Barack Obama as “President Clinton.”

Biden: Before We Took Office, U.S. Was “The Problem” On Iran
Buzzfeed.com ^ | 5/8/12 | Zeke Miller
Vice President Joe Biden offered a sharp defense of President Barack Obama's friendship to Israel and leadership in preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons in remarks to a Jewish group in Atlanta today.
And Biden blamed the Bush Administration for the foreign policy challenges Obama inherited — specifically the lack of international pressure on Iran.
"When we took office... we were the problem," referring to the way America was viewed in the world at the time. "We were diplomatically isolated in the world, in the region, in Europe.”
Shouting at times, Biden said voices in the Jewish community who say Obama is not fully committed to the preservation of the State of Israel "frustrate" him, declaring: "I believe no president since Harry Truman has done more for Israel’s physical security than Barack Obama."
"I once said were I a Jew I’d be a Zionist, and I want you all to realize you need not be a Jew to be a Zionist," Biden added in the address to the Rabbinical Assembly's annual conference. Adding, he is a Zionist.

Biden compares Romney’s White House qualifications to plumber
MarketWatch ^ | 05.22.2012 | Jeffry Bartash
Posted on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 4:25:06 PM by Prov1322
Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Mitt Romney is no more qualified than a plumber to be president of the United States.
Repeating the White House’s latest line of attack, Biden told a Democratic audience in New Hampshire that Romney’s past as a business leader at Bain Capital is fair game for criticism. Obama and his surrogates have accused Romney of putting profits ahead of the workers at the companies his venture-capital firm invested in.
“When they succeed and the company succeeds, they make money,” Biden said. “When the company they got involved with fails, they make money.”
A president, Biden said, has to worry more about workers and what happens to them. Obama has made the same argument when asked about his campaign’s attacks on Romney’s business history.
“Your job as president is to promote the common good. That doesn’t mean the private-equity guys are bad. They’re not,” Biden said. “But that no more qualifies you to be president than to be a plumber.”
Republicans, for their part, say they are happy to compare Romney’s career as a businessman to Obama’s economic record as president.

Biden: ‘So-called job creators’ don’t build economy
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/3/12 | Joel Gehrk
Posted on July 3, 2012 10:39:34 PM EDT by Nachum
Vice President Joe Biden faulted Mitt Romney for believing that “so-called job creators” build the economy, as he suggested that government spending and increased taxes on the wealthy would provide long-term economic strength. “[Romney believes] somehow, that those so-called job creators will make everything okay for the rest of us,” Biden said at the National Education Association conference. “We believe that the way to build this country is the way we always have, from the middle out . . .

The VP's remarks will not be tweeted
Comments (83)
By DYLAN BYERS |
7/24/12 12:07 PM EDT
Vice President Joe Biden will take questions from reporters on a White House press call today, and as has been the case in the past, the on-the-record conversation will be embargoed until the end of the call.
The curious caveat -- who would write an article during the middle of the call? -- is a product of the post-Twitter presidential campaign, barring reporters from the beloved habit of tweeting remarks in real-time.
But it begs the question: If it's going to be in an article 20 minutes later, why can't it be on Twitter right now?
From White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest, via email: "The embargo will allow journalists to hear the entirety of the Vice President’s remarks and get the benefit of having their questions answered -- before trying to condense a 30-minute conference call about a 20-page NEC report into a 140 characters."

Fire Union Chief Rips Joe Biden's Speech To Firefighters In Philadelphia: 'I Just Wanted Him To Say One Sentence'
Brett LoGiurato|58 minutes ago|1|
Getty
PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia firefighter union president was visibly upset at what he saw as a glaring omission from Vice President Joe Biden's speech here to the International Association of Fire Fighters on Wednesday.
Bill Gault, president of Philadelphia Fire Fighter's Union Local 22, said after Biden's speech that he wanted Biden to endorse the implementation of an award to city firefighters that provided raises and protections against furloughs. An arbitration panel granted the award in early July, and last week the union filed a lawsuit against the city to ensure that it is enacted.
"I just wanted him to say one sentence to my mayor to honor the firefighters' award," Gault told Business Insider. "But I guess I can't expect him to do that."
The union and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter told the Philadelphia Daily News that he is "fully examining that award," noting that the city has 30 days to decide whether to appeal the arbitration panel's ruling.
Gault was hoping for an endorsement from the vice president, which led to his disappointment.
"We feel unappreciated in this city. And if you ask these men in here, they'll feel the same way," Gault said. "I'm disappointed that the vice president didn't say, 'Mr. Mayor, honor their agreement.' It's a very simple sentence."
Nutter has emerged as a top surrogate this campaign season for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. Gault said that he invited Nutter to speak at the convention, but he never heard back.
Biden did attempt to contrast Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney during his speech, mentioning a gaffe from Romney in June in which he said he didn't want "more firefighters, more policemen, more teachers."
"They just have a fundamentally different view," Biden told the crowd of firefighters about the Republican Party. "They have a different value set. They act like you're the community's problem, as if you're not part of the community, as if you're from some other place."
That was not specific enough for Gault. He said that the IAFF had asked Biden to mention the Philadelphia union's efforts.
"All politicians are the same to me right now," he said.

Joe Biden's Awkward Rant On Wealth Included Him Saying 'I Wish My Kids Would Become Wealthy'
Brett LoGiurato|Jul. 25, 2012, 4:36 PM|418|9
PHILADELPHIA — Vice President Joe Biden's speech to International Association of Fire Fighters here at the Philadelphia Convention Center got a little rocky at points when he spoke about the contrast between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney on extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.
"I wish my kids would become wealthy!" Biden said, trying to emphasize his point that Obama and Congressional Democrats don't dislike wealth.
Biden's three grown children, though, don't appear to have any financial troubles and are seemingly doing fine financially. His two sons, Hunter and Beau, are high-profile lawyers, and his daughter Ashley is a recently wed social worker.
That quote was part of a longer explanation that just got more puzzling as he went along.
"There's nothing wrong with that," he said of being wealthy. "It's a good thing. But the wealthy do very well. Why? Because you have money in your pocket to buy things!"
But as the Democratic-leaning Senate will likely pass a largely symbolic extension of the Bush tax cuts on families earning less than $250,000 today, Biden drove home the points that Romney wants to extend the tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans and that his economic plans would benefit the wealthy.
"He's a good family man, a guy who means well," Biden said of Romney. "But I don't think he gets you. I don't think he understands what you're all about, what makes you tick, what makes you decide to go in this profession, which you couldn't pay 90 percent of the population to do

Vice President Joe Biden told supporters that Republicans would “put y’all back in chains,” during a campaign speech Tuesday in Danville, Va.
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the—he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules–unchain Wall Street. They’re going to put y’all back in chains. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing…
Biden was introduced at the campaign event by Center for American Progress Action Fund president Tom Perriello, who called Biden “the conscience of our nation’s capital.”

Giuliani Wonders Whether Biden Has ‘Mental Capacity’ for Presidency
By Robert Costa
August 14, 2012 6:59 P.M. Comments124
Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani told CNBC’s Larry Kudlow tonight that Vice President Biden may be unfit for office. Here’s the transcript:
KUDLOW: You know, what did he say? ‘Y’all going to be put back in chains’? That almost has racial overtones, Rudy Giuliani. What’s your take on that?
GIULIANI: Well, I think if it came from somebody serious maybe we’d get all excited about it. But the — I think the vice president of the United States has become a laugh line on late night television. I mean, he — I’ve never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things. I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it. I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. And people think, ‘Well, he just talks a little too much.’ Actually he’s not very smart.

Black Like Us: The Race Clownery of Obama-Biden
Townhall.com ^ | August 15, 2012 | Michelle Malkin
Posted on August 15, 2012 6:32:00 AM EDT by Kaslin
Looks like Vice President Joe Biden has been taking extracurricular Democratic jive-talking lessons. The results of condescending liberals' cynical racial pandering attempts are, as always, seismically cringe-inducing.
At a campaign event in Danville, Va., the gaffetastic veep dropped his g's and picked up a bizarre twang in front of an audience of black voters. Middle-Class Joe swapped his Home Depot apron for an A.M.E. preacher's robe and sermonized about the big, bad GOP.
Romney's "gonna let the big banks once again write their own rules," Biden shouted. "Unnnn-chain Wall Street," he exclaimed with pulpit bravado. "They're gonna put y'all back in chains," the pasty Delaware wheeler-dealer faux-drawled. Extra-emphasis on the "y'all."
Yes, Biden is rattling chains like an extra in "Roots." This is the same politician of pallor who cracked jokes about Indians who work in 7-Elevens and who referred to his now-boss as "clean" and "articulate." Yet, Biden's demagoguery was met with approving hoots and hollers. Or rather, hollas.
Naturally, the defiant Obama campaign backed up Biden and gave a shout-out of its own. Welcome to the new tone -- and the same old slime. Prevaricating spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter (last seen defending the phony, indefensible Romney-killed-a-steelworker's-wife ad run by Obama Super PAC Priorities USA) chimed in after Biden's speech. "We have no problem with those comments," she told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. Biden "was using a metaphor" with which the president agrees.
Timing matters. Biden's race-baiting came after a weekend clogged with divisive jabs at GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's announcement of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.
Democratic Rep. Donna Christensen, the non-voting delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the U.S. House of Representatives, tweeted: "Wait a minute! Are there black people in Va? Guess just not w Romney Ryan! At least not seeing us. We know who's got our back & we have his." Left-wing actress Mia Farrow watched the announcement and derided a "whole bunch of white people." They were joined by countless "progressive" social media users who mocked the GOP's "white guy, white guy 2012!!!" Sirius XM radio host Dave Rubin -- himself the color of discount Charmin toilet paper -- called Romney-Ryan "the whitest ticket since the KKK voted for their box social chairperson."
Gotta love post-racial America!
The poisonous slavery allusion echoed the former pastor of Biden's boss. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, you may recall, used the same "chains" imagery to justify his "God Damn America" diatribe. "America," he inveighed in Obama's old Chicago-based Trinity United Church, put blacks in "chains ... and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America'? No, no, no. Not God bless America; God damn America!"
Biden's stunt also echoes Hillary Clinton's infamous black church minstrel performances in which she unleashed a mortifying Southern-spiced-with-street accent to show her street solidarity: "For the last five years, we've had No. Power. At. All. And that makes a big difference, because when you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation. An' yew know what ah'm talkin' about." At an event with race-hustler Al Sharpton, she poured it on thicker: "I'm afraid I'm gonna lift up the rug, and I'm goin' to see so much stuff uh-nder thar. ... You know, what is it about us always havin' to clean up after people? ... But this is not just goin' to be pickin' up socks off the floor. This is goin' to be cleanin' up the government."
At least the only thing she manufactured was her patronizing dialect. Remember candidate Barack Obama's 2007 Selma, Ala., speech? To court black voters, Obama claimed that President Kennedy had sponsored the airlift in Africa responsible for bringing his family to the U.S. and asserted that Selma's 1965 Bloody Sunday demonstration brought his parents together and led to his birth. Of course, JFK didn't take office until two years after Obama's father arrived in the U.S., and the president was born four years before Bloody Sunday.

Trouble with Joe (Why Team Obama should be very worried about the VP)
National Review ^ | 08/14/2012 | John Fund
Posted on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 1:02:42 PM by SeekAndFind
The Obama campaign told The Hill on Tuesday that it “is confident Vice President Biden will be an effective foil” for Paul Ryan despite Biden’s latest gaffe. I’m not so sure, and neither are some Democrats.
Biden’s rhetorical belly-flop yesterday was a doozy. He first told a largely black audience in Danville, Va., that he hoped they could help Obama win North Carolina. He followed that up with the claim that Mitt Romney wanted to “unchain Wall Street.” He then switched to a comic down-home accent and bellowed, “They’re gonna put y’all back in chains!”
Willie Geist, a co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, was blunt: “If Paul Ryan, the Republican candidate, said that to an African-American audience, there would be calls this morning for him to get out of the race, for Mitt Romney to withdraw from the race. There’s a double standard.”
But there has been a double standard for Joe Biden for decades, and almost every reporter in Washington knows it. Last night, a frustrated Rudy Giuliani acknowledged it on CNBC. “I’ve never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things,” he told Larry Kudlow. “I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it. I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. And people think, ‘Well, he just talks a little too much.’ Actually, he’s just not very smart.”
Biden has been very lucky that the national media have largely given him a pass until now. American history for the last half century has been replete with Republicans who have been portrayed by the elite media as dim or addled — from Dwight Eisenhower to Gerald Ford to Ronald Reagan and Dan Quayle to, of course, George W. Bush and Sarah Palin. No Democrat with comparable national stature has been saddled with a similar reputation. The media have tended to explain away Biden’s strange statements and unforced errors by saying, “Oh, well. That’s just Joe, you know.” Or they casually admit, “Well, he just talks a bit too much,” and then move on.
In the middle of a hotly contested presidential campaign, that may now be changing. In the Washington Post yesterday, Alexandra Petri discussed “the trouble with Joe” and took the VP to task for “periodically alarming outbursts” that are unbecoming of the second-highest office in the land. “He inspires the sort of discomfort one feels upon introducing one’s fiancé to Grandpa after he has had a Scotch too many,” Petri scolded. “His cringe-inducing gaffes . . . inspire less anger than embarrassment.” A New York publishing source told me that “Biden is now seen as a Catholic Sam Goldwyn, and that’s not a good place to be.” Sam Goldwyn was the legendary Hollywood producer who was known for malapropisms (“A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on”).
The White House has to worry that for the next 82 days Joe Biden will be under tremendous scrutiny — especially given the fact that Paul Ryan has become such a media-attention magnet. Everyone is anticipating the October 11 debate between Biden and Ryan. Biden’s penchant for off-the-cuff remarks doesn’t inspire confidence that he won’t unintentionally blurt something out when facing Ryan. For example, he embarrassed the Obama administration recently by prematurely revealing he was “comfortable” with gay marriage — forcing his boss to suddenly endorse gay marriage on a timetable not of his choosing.
Biden’s erratic statements certainly should make Team Obama nervous. I’ve no doubt that some Democratic strategists would love for Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to swap jobs and bolster the Democratic ticket with a little Clinton magic. But there’s no evidence that Hillary would take that deal. If she wants to run, she is already the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic nomination and would gain no advantage by being yoked to Obama, her old adversary, for the next three months if they lost or the next four years if they won.
So Democrats are stuck with Old Joe, who will turn 70 this November. It’s said that few people vote for a presidential ticket based on who is filling the No. 2 slot. But some do, and they may matter in a very close race. It’s likely that by the time this campaign ends, a lot of people will be more nervous about Joe Biden being a heartbeat away from the presidency than about Paul Ryan.

Biden: I say 'exactly what I mean, it's not gonna change'

Biden: I say 'exactly what I mean, it's not gonna change'
By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 8/15/12 1:57 PM EDT
Via Jonathan Martin, who's on the trail with Joe Biden today, the VP began his speech in a much more subdued fashion than he did yesterday when he talked about "chains" to the crowd in Virginia.
And there were no mentions of any form of shackle at this event, "I know I am sometimes criticized for saying exactly what I mean. It's not gonna change."
His attempt at clean-up last night was to say he meant to say "unshackle," but he still dinged Mitt Romney for calling it "outrageous." What was "outrageous," he said, were the GOP policies.
He also added that Romney and Paul Ryan are trying to transform Medicare into a voucher system, saying, "You know how confusing it is to begin with."
Of the GOP intentions, he said, "This is not a mystery anymore, this is not a mystery. ... The Etch A Sketch is gone. This is written pretty clearly."
As I wrote last night, Biden is digging in on what he said earlier yesterday, making the clarification a bit murky. And saying he says what he means is not likely to quell the anger among Republicans over what he said in the first place.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that it "might be wise" for President Barack Obama to pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate given Vice President Joe Biden's penchant for saying things that sometimes land him in hot water.
"I think [Obama] might be wise to do that," McCain said during an appearance on Fox News, when asked about the prospect of Obama tapping Clinton this time around. "But that's not going to happen, obviously, for a whole variety of reasons."
In a fit of gasps and laughs, McCain said one reason it won't happen is because, "I'm not sure if I were Hillary Clinton I'd want to be on that team."
Biden, who is known for putting his foot in his mouth from time to time, sparked the ire of Republicans on Tuesday when he said during a Virginia campaign event that Mitt Romney's tax policy would put "y'all back in chains." A Romney spokeswoman blasted the remark, saying the Obama campaign had reached a “new low” while promoting “division and demonization."
Biden essentially shrugged over the matter, telling a crowd at a Wednesday campaign event that he knows he's "sometimes criticized for saying exactly what I mean. It's not going to change."
Even though it's highly unlikely that Obama would swap Biden for Clinton, McCain said it could be a good move for Clinton if she has her eye on a future White House run, which he suspects she does.
"I think her ambitions, very frankly, are for 2016," McCain said. "I'm sure that would enhance that likelihood."

Buffoon Biden's many lies
The keen observer ^ | 08/15/2012 | Self
Posted on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 5:30:43 PM by ReaganÜberAlles
But Biden, often portrayed as a doltish, hapless dullard, is capable of some of the most vicious, clever lies ever contrived on the campaign trail - using them to "connect" with whatever audience stands before him . For example, Joe Biden has for years claimed that his first wife and daughter were killed by a "drunk driver" in 1972. However, closer examination of the records proves that the man driving the truck (that slammed into the Biden family car) was never charged with drunken driving.
There was no evidence of any drinking at the scene. There was not even speeding. The trucks brakes checked out, as well. It was not the drivers fault.
And this one....
Nonetheless, Biden's "embellishment problem" is reminiscent of another incident that undid Biden the LAST time he ran for president 20 years ago; when he was blindsided by plagiarism charges - having copied, almost verbatim, a 1975 speech by Neil Gordon Kinnick, a member of the British Parliament, known for his fiery oratory.
And this..... And then there was also the scene, taped by C-SPAN, in which Biden became irritated with a New Hampshire voter, who questioned him over his own "uneven" academic credentials.
Among Bidens claims, he said he was named the outstanding student in political science at the University of Delaware and was in the top half of his law school class at Syracuse University (both untrue) and won an international moot court competition, which WAS true.
Biden also gibed, "I'd be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours." (NOTE: Biden "the gifted" graduated 75th out of a class of 86).

Obama defends Biden on 'chains' comment
Associated Press ^ | August. 15, 2012
Posted on August 15, 2012 8:49:24 PM EDT by Free ThinkerNY
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is defending Vice President Joe Biden against criticism of his remarks that Republican repeal of Wall Street regulations would put voters "back in chains."
In an interview with People magazine on Wednesday, Obama said Biden's remarks meant consumers would be worse off if Republicans succeeded in doing away with new restraints on financial institutions.
"In no sense was he trying to connote something other than that," Obama said.

Joe Biden's comments are proof of a double standard in US politics
telegraph / daily beast ^ | 8 16 12
Posted on August 15, 2012 9:03:04 PM EDT by InvisibleChurch
Joe Biden must step down as Vice President of the United States. That is the rule, isn’t it, whenever a public figure makes a bone-headed, addle-brained, one-drink-too-many-at-a-wedding comment regarding race? Actually, no that isn’t the rule. Unless of course Joe Biden was a Republican.
Anybody in polite company who still wonders why so many Republican-minded Americans are drawn to alternative media outlets like Fox News or Glenn Beck as their information source need only look at the current episode with the vice president for an answer. What is certain to unfold in this case is a prime example of the double standard that politicians – and much of the media – apply to matters of race.
For those not following the latest entry in the long line of vice presidential nincompoopery, on Tuesday Joe Biden appeared in Virginia before a group of supporters, a number of them African-American, and said this of Republican Mitt Romney: “He is going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street. He is going to put y'all back in chains." Who knows what Biden was thinking? (the vice president surely doesn’t). Was he just carried away in a speech? Was this part of an intricate plan to link the Republican candidate to racism? Does Biden really believe Romney, who once claimed (falsely) that his father marched with Dr Martin Luther King Jr, plans to bring back slavery? Does Joe Biden, an attorney with an ego as big as his mouth, actually believe a president could reinstate slavery if he wanted to? It doesn’t matter. Whatever his motivations, he’ll emerge from this brouhaha unscathed. Because he is a Democrat....

Obama to Have Lunch with Biden Today
by Keith Koffler on August 16, 2012, 8:33 am
President Barack Obama and his mistake-prone vice president, Joe Biden, are having lunch today, a weekly occurrence that takes on far more significance than usual in the wake of controversy surrounding several of Biden’s recent statements.
While the lunch was probably already scheduled, it’s practically impossible that Biden’s campaign trail remarks will fail to come up given the clamor they have provoked. There is even a growing chorus of suggestions – mainly from Republicans – that Biden is not up to the job and should be replaced on the ticket.
The session could easily end up a trip to the woodshed for Biden or, though it’s unlikely, something far worse.
Biden this week suggested that Gov. Mitt Romney would put African Americans back chains and, in a separate appearance, indicated that we are all still living in the 20th century. The statements are just the latest in a series of mistakes – assuming the comment about African Americans was unscripted – in the past few months that have raised concerns about Biden.
Most famously, he blurted out on Meet the Press that he favored gay marriage, forcing President Obama to hastily emerge with his own statement of support.
He called Obama “President Clinton,” called Romney “President Romney,” suggested the Irish drink too much, crossed himself in front of a meeting of over 1,000 conservative rabbis, and paid a visit to Florida’s “Evergators,” as he put it.
Odder still, he began raving uncontrollably during a speech for no particular reason, fulminating about how his parents “dreamed as much as any rich guy dreams.”

I call this one INTENTIONAL.
Biden did it to rally the minority voting base - AND - give himself a graceful exit for Hilary to step in. Boom, 2012 election over.

Politico's Jonathan Martin and Washington Post's Chris Cillizza talk to NBC's Chuck Todd about the Obama-Biden campaign's control over reporters and the pool report on Todd's MSNBC program, "The Daily Rundown."
The pool report is a brief memo that is usually written by one reporter that goes out to members of the press who were not able to make it to an event where the president or vice president attended. The pool report often contains a few lines that the president or vice president, or POTUS/VPOTUS as it is often written in the pool reports, said. Sometimes gaffes made by the candidates are included in the report.
Martin says that as of late the Biden campaign team has gone through pool reports and then tells the reporter what is okay and what is not okay to print.
As Martin and Chuck Todd note, this is a memo that is by the press and for the press.
"The Biden aides are trying to edit what's in there while it's been drafted, and then after you send it to them and they're reviewing it, they're looking for potential land mines," Martin revealed.
"By the way, the only reason it gets sent through them, and I think we're going to have to change the system -- this is an outrage that they do this! The only reason we send it to them is it's the fastest distribution to the press," Chuck Todd said.
"It's remarkable," Chris Cillizza said, shaking his head.
"It's a reflection of how much the Biden staff is determined to police him and really save him from himself," Martin observed.
Martin then revealed a moment where the press, after a shooting, asked Joe Biden about the loss of his own child. Martin said his team tried to push him away from the press to prevent him from answering that question, but he ended up shouting over his own people to make a statement to the press.

Chuck Todd Calls Biden’s Staff Influencing Pool Reports An ‘Outrage,’
Mediaite ^ | 12:18 pm, August 16th, 2012 | by Noah Rothman |
Posted on Thursday, August 16, 2012 4:51:27 PM
On Thursday, Chuck Todd, NBC News’ White House Correspondent and Political Director, called a Politico report which revealed that Vice President Joe Biden’s staff actively attempted to edit pool reports, which are used to inform reporters about events on the campaign trail, an “outrage.” He said that the system of distributing pool reports through political staffers may have to change as a result of Biden’s staffer’s behavior.
RELATED: Biden’s Staff Tried To Influence Reporting On His Virginia Trip, According To Report
Politico reporter Jonathan Martin, who originally reported the infraction by Biden’s staffers, said the attempted influencing of pool reports was “unheard of.”
“The Biden aides are trying to edit wants in there while it’s being drafted, and then after you send it to them reviewing it and looking for potential land mines,” said Martin.
“And the only reason it gets sent through them – and I think we’re going to have to change this system – this is an outrage that they do this,” said Todd. “The only reason why we send it through them is it’s the fastest distribution vehicle.”
“It’s for us and by us,” said Washington Post political editor Chris Cillizza, shaking his head. “It’s remarkable.”
“The Biden staff is determined to police him and to really save him from himself,” Martin concluded.

Rolling Stone Editor Defends Biden: Everyone Knows He's an Idiot [VIDEO]
NewsBusters ^ | 08/16/2012 | Libby Sternberg
Posted on August 16, 2012 10:32:00 PM EDT by KentTrappedInLiberalSeat tle
On Wednesday, August 15, MSNBC’s noon show, “NOW With Alex Wagner,” featured a brief but revealing segment on Vice President Joseph Biden’s recent gaffe. This was the one where Biden addressed a crowd, mostly of African-Americans, and, using what sounded like a Southern accent, said of the Romney/Ryan team: “They’re going to put ya’ll back in chains,” supposedly with deregulation of Wall Street.
The “NOW” panel was urged to address this by host Alex Wagner, but from a specific standpoint – “How do we get past this and get to the big issues?”
One of her guests, Eric Bates, executive editor of Rolling Stone, had this to say in response to Wagner’s question:
ERIC BATES: I think it’s going to blow over pretty quickly, so I don’t think we will have to do much to get past it. I think Romney’s response, even the rhetoric of his response, is interesting. He called the Obama administration angry and desperate. Well, you can call Obama a lot of things. Angry isn’t one that comes to mind very often, and I think a lot of his own supporters would like to see President Obama more angry than he is. Desperate? If you want a sign of desperation, latching on to something Joe Biden says, as evidence of anything, that’s an act of desperation.
When others on the panel pointed out that Biden is, after all, vice president, and thus the gaffe is fair game, Bates went on to say:
ERIC BATES: I’m not saying it it’s not fair game. He’s almost gaffe-proof in that we’ve come to expect that from him so much, and it’s a reflection of who he is and how he talks, and everybody kind of gets that.
What’s striking about this exchange is how cavalier a major editor—even of a publication such as the Rolling Stone—is about a gaffe-prone vice president, making excuses for him the way one would for, say, a goofy uncle. As others on the panel rightly pointed out: Joseph Biden is not just anybody; he’s the vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency.
When Bates says “everybody gets that” about Biden, what does he really mean—that we all know Biden is not as dumb as he repeatedly sounds? Or is he saying Biden is as dumb as his gaffes make him appear, but it doesn’t really matter? If the former, where’s the evidence? If the latter, should an editor be shrugging off this story?

Joe Biden Press Shop Literally Trying to Edit Media Reports

The controversy surrounding Vice President Joe Biden’s offensive claim that Republicans want to enslave black Americans has become such a concern to the Obama White House that the veep’s staff have resorted to trying to directly censor the news coverage about him.
In what is widely believed to be an unprecedented move, the Biden press shop has severely restricted access to vice president and begun telling journalists what they should write about his activities as they write them up.

Our Idiot Vice President
Townhall.com ^ | August 19, 2012 | Derek Hunter
Posted on August 19, 2012 4:07:36 AM EDT by Kaslin
If Vice President Joe Biden didn’t exist, you couldn’t invent him. You couldn’t invent him because no one would believe such a character possibly could exist. No Hollywood producer ever would believe someone that dumb could rise to that level without an “R” after his name.
But if someone did attempt to pitch a TV show with a character like Joe Biden, here is how it might go:
We’ve got this guy, and he’s an idiot. But he’s also vice president of the United States. Stay with me. He says things that are provably untrue, and he does it constantly. And not just untrue but outrageously so.
For example, he tells a crowd of black voters that his opponent is “going to put y’all back in chains” in the south. Then he mocks the woman doing sign language for the crowd with a bunch of hand gestures. But he’s not done.
See, he’s in Virginia, but like a member of Spinal Tap, he tells the crowd he’s in North Carolina. And he does all of this not over the course of a campaign, but in one speech.
As background on his character, this sort of stupidity is nothing new for him. In fact, he’s sort of legendary for gaffes like this. See, he’s VP for the first black president, and when he was running for president himself he called the future president “clean and articulate.” He could end it by saying something even dumber, such as, “That’s a storybook, man.” Even I admit that sounds a bit crazy, that no real human would say that, so maybe not that last bit. Still…
But anyway, we could make him saying dumb things on race a part of his history too. He could say something about going into a 7-Eleven or Dunkin’ Donuts and needing a “slight Indian accent,” or some other stereotypically stupid thing.
Obviously, we’d have to make it an absurdist farce so it would be believable, but that’s doable.
As such, we could give him a full history of lies and saying dumb things.
One option would be to have a scene, years earlier, where he chews out someone who asks him about how he did in college and law school. His answer could be like someone really worried his attempt to come off as intelligent could come crushing down, so he snaps at the guy.
He could say something absurd, such as “I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect.” Then he could rattle off a list of academic scholarships he earned, how he didn’t really care his first year of law school but then started to and graduated in the top half of his class, etc. Only it’s all a lie. He eventually has to admit it was all a lie. His scholarship was based on need, not academics, he didn’t graduate in the top half of his class – he was 76th out of 85 … stuff like that.
Better yet, it’s the New York Times that calls him out on it. Years later the Times will defend him when he’s running for VP because Democrats must be protected, so they paint him as some sort of foreign policy genius. But actually, he will have advised against the raid that kill Osama bin Laden. Absurd, I know. But that’s this character. That’s what makes it a farce.
Just to make it so over the top, so no one would ever think this caricature is real, we can sprinkle in some plagiarism in law school that he’ll pass off as not being sure how to cite things properly. For good measure, we’ll even have him plagiarize a biographical passage from a speech of someone else, because who would believe that?
What do you say? Are we in business?
The producers would look at you and say, “No one’s going to believe that character exists. There’s no way someone with that baggage, that many gaffes, that stupid, could ever become vice president of the United States. But we like the idea, so here’s what we suggest. We change his name to Quayle, make him a Republican and change it from a comedy to a drama.”
That’s about how it would go, but everything I’ve written about the fictional Joe Biden was said and done by the real one. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
So as you watch the media “vet” Rep. Paul Ryan, just remember how little vetting they did of Joe Biden in 2008. Yet what little vetting the media did of Biden was like a colonoscopy compared to the vetting they did of Barack Obama.

Boston Globe: Biden should apologize for “back in chains” remark
Boston Globe ^ | August 17, 2012 | Staff Editorial
Posted on August 19, 2012 6:06:03 AM EDT by Cincinatus' Wife
When Vice President Joe Biden warned a Virginia rally of hundreds of African Americans that Republican efforts to loosen bank regulations meant “They’re going to put y’all back in chains,” Stephanie Cutter, Team Obama’s deputy campaign manager, said the president would have “no problem with those comments.”
But imagine if Republican Paul Ryan uttered comments like that. Mitt Romney’s pick for vice president would be pilloried for racial insensitivity — and so would Romney. In the fight for civility and substance over pointless hyperbole, Biden may not be the worst offender. But he’s an offender nonetheless, and he should apologize.
[SNIP]
Liberals routinely dismiss Biden’s gaffes as the rhetorical excesses of an overly exuberant speaker — it’s “Joe being Joe.” And there can be something appealing about a politician who throws caution and the script that goes with it to the winds. Yet when conservative speakers get overly exuberant and cross a rhetorical line, they are presumed racist or culturally insensitive, rather than refreshingly free-spirited. One standard should apply.

Biden’s Tourrette Problem
Townhall.com ^ | August 20, 2012 | Shawn Mitchell
Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 2:03:17 AM by Kaslin
Joseph Biden’s career is chock-full of career-threatening gaffes--had they been committed by a conservative. But last week was exceptional, even for Joe.
Telling a largely black audience that Republicans want to “put y’all back in chains” was a burst of verbal flatulence the media just couldn’t deodorize. Hence, the week’s other stinkers also got noticed: He forgot what state he was talking to, what century we’re in, and that Paul Ryan isn’t a governor, but a member of Congress. Small things, maybe, but not as small as the “e” that’s not at the end of potato.
But there’s something more important than the crazy uncle’s belated unmasking. There’s glimmering awareness of the professional courtesy that’s sheltered his career. Does the public know the man’s a walking grenade, threatening small explosions at any moment? Not till the closing months of his second campaign for Vice President they didn't.
It’s time for a reckoning, or at least some soul searching.
Does the media ever look in the mirror? Like wonder why they labored to excommunicate Dan Qualye from respectable society for a few things like a zinger of a debate insult by Lloyd Bentsen and misspelling potato? Or the decency of their nuclear assault on Sarah Palin, grasping for anything--anything—damaging they could scream about?
Meanwhile, this dufus has bumbled for decades in a praised senate career and become Vice President of the United States, while the professional media looked respectfully away from his stream of idiocy. Only now, under the glare of ubiquitous scrutiny, social media and a hotly contested presidential race, they can’t quite keep him under wraps.
So, kind of like Obama being forced to drop Van Jones for various extremist outrages-- some insane, others just Marxist--before the national media even deigned to report a controversy existed, suddenly there's talk of whether Ole' Joe should be dumped.
Replace the Vice President?! But there haven’t been any dog piles or death watches! Nothing of the kind that Bush Secretaries Don Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzalez, and John Ashcroft endured, and before them, Regan aides Ed Meese, James Watt, Ann Burford, and others.
Certainly there’s been nothing like the extended crucifixion Palin and Quayle endured.
Even after Biden’s last unchained performance, the AP stoically stuck to the script, insisting the Obama team “sees Biden as one of its most valuable assets.” Seriously, you can google it. But further stumbles forced the president to send Biden home to his room.
Do reporters ever ponder that Republican presidents, from Ike to Ford, Reagan, and the Bushes are portrayed as stupid, clumsy, or out of touch, but Democratic presidents seldom if ever get that treatment? Are Republicans just dumber? Or are reporters in chains to their ideology?
Why did we know within days of citizen Joe the Plumber’s query to candidate Obama that Joe had tax and child support issues? But it took four years, to 2012 to learn the best-selling memoir of the president of the United States is largely fiction!
Most the public still doesn’t know the original “birther” was Barack Obama, whose literary agency publicized him for a decade in printed and online information as a Kenyan-born Harvard Law grad. That entry was quietly edited a few weeks into the promising senator’s presidential bid. The dogs of the press are sitting and heeling for him on that story. (Disclaimer: I believe the president was born in Hawaii. I also believe he misrepresented that fact for academic and professional advantage before the presidency was a consideration.)
Why did the national media camp in Crawford Texas for weeks to amplify and glorify the bereaved, slightly deranged Cindy Sheehan, but the parents of Border Agent Brian Terry, slain in Obama’s monstrously conceived Operation Fast and Furious, grieve in obscurity?
How is it that an international scandal involving illegal gun sales forced by the administration to drug lords, with hundreds of dead Mexicans and a dead US Border agent, has been virtually blacked out by the national media? When Obama forced their hand by declaring executive privilege over hundreds of thousands of documents sought by Congress, they grudgingly reported that fact, with a cramped summary of the previously unreported scandal for their uninformed viewers. Follow up since then has been essentially nil.
It seems futile to scream about the eternal double standard. Screaming has cost me media friends. Yet, it’s impossible to forget or ignore. For all the proliferation of new media, the major broadcast networks and papers still paint the baseline of general public awareness. And that’s a problem.

In what is widely believed to be an unprecedented move, the Biden press shop has severely restricted access to vice president
Reminds me of when Mccain had to shield an incompetent palin from reporters on the road.
Week of the RNC convention... wouldnt it be cool for Obama to replace him on the ticket? Upstage Romney by a mile.

Biden: We 'Created 200,000 Brand New Good Paying Jobs’ Despite ‘Republican Obstructionism’

Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in Minneapolis, Minn., Tuesday credited the Obama administration with the creation of “200,000 brand new good paying jobs.” Biden blamed “Republican obstructionism” for “slowing down” the Obama administration’s economic progress and said GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his allies “sound like squealing pigs” when they object to Democratic efforts to pass “the toughest Wall Street regulations in history.” “In spite of that, in spite of Governor Romney’s insistence to let Detroit go bankrupt, we rescued the automobile industry, saved a million

The Scarecrow of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog 16 Comments
It is not completely impossible that in a moment of electoral desperation, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr will be called into a private meeting with Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod and told that it's time for him to announce that he wants to spend more time with his family. But it's not very likely.
The chief function of a Vice President is making the President look good and by that measure Joe Biden is one of the best vice presidents who ever lived. The rule of thumb is that the more incompetent the man at the top is, the more of a buffoon the man just below him needs to be to make him look good. And again Biden does this job brilliantly.
James Monroe put as many political rivals in his cabinet as possible, but Barack Hussein Obama and the people around him are too insecure and paranoid to do such a thing. Monroe might have presided over the Era of Good Feeling, but the age of O is the Era of Bad Feelings. Hillary Clinton was never going to be on the ticket. Even giving her the Secretary of State position would never have been an option if it had not been a matter of pure survival, with the Obamas terrified of losing moderate Democrats to McCain.
Joe Biden, never a serious candidate, was the perfect match for Obama. A dumb old white man, to confirm all the dirty impulses of the left, while mockingly giving mainstream Democrats someone they could relate to. Biden's gaffes aren't an embarrassment, they are the whole point, signaling the end of the old American era of leadership. Their implicit message is that you can choose a McCain or Biden, another old white man, or the savvy multicultural representative of a new generation that looks like the America of 2050.
Obama and Biden are both symbols of the Post-American America. Biden represents the outgoing American administration and Obama represents the incoming Post-American administration. It is vital to make the American administration look weak, foolish and useless so as to affirm the right of the Post-American administration to seize power from it.
Biden's ego has made it impossible for him to understand the uses he has been put to. And that is part of the joke. Joe Biden wasn't selected despite his penchant for saying stupid things in public. He was selected because of it. He is there to project incompetence in order to make Obama look better. He is there to make the idea of white male leadership look like a joke. That is his one and only job and he has succeeded at it.
Biden is the successor of every dumb white male father figure on TV gawping at the screen, tumbling over chairs and down the stairs, scratching his head cluelessly at the wiser new generation around him. He is every man in a commercial who can't figure out how to start a car, make coffee or clean the house until his wife or a helpful minority figure shows up and explains it to him.
Doofus Dad is no longer just unable to perform simple tasks in a commercial, rubbing his eyes to the sound of canned laughter. He is the Vice President of the United States who was chosen to live up to that calculatingly manufactured stereotype. And he is rubbing his eyes and saying stupid things to the sound of canned laughter at press conferences.
No halfway responsible man would have deliberately chosen an idiot as his potential replacement. But an administration that has done the things to America that this one has done is not in any way responsible. If you step into Obama's head for a moment, you realize that he does not care at all what happens if he should die. A man who can't be bothered to take care of his own extended family is not likely to care one way or another what happens to a country of several hundred million, most of whom are not even related to him.
Obama truly is a post-racial candidate. His tribalism is a feint. While African-Americans saw him as one of theirs, he has never seen himself that way. His racial identity is as much a scam as anything else about him. Obama has done as much for African-Americans as he has for his half-brother who is calling strangers to help pay his medical bills. Obama dispenses group privileges only when it suits his needs. He exploits accusations of racism, but race means very little to him. Racial identity, like national identity, is a pose that he adopts on the appropriate occasions.
The post-racialism of Obama is the reverse of Martin Luther King's invocation of a society that has transcended race. Obama privileges race over character as a means of invoking guilt and group solidarity. He does not care about all Americans in a way that transcends race, nor does he care about one race exclusively. He cares about no one at all. If he appears to have any warm feelings for a particular group, they seem to be limited to the Muslims of his childhood who helped raise him.
There is nothing reassuring or transcendent about Obama's post-racialism. Like his post-nationalism, it is a symptom of a man who belongs nowhere but who can do his best to pass everywhere by appropriating identities and symbols as if they were currencies to be traded on an international trip. A man such as this is adept at speaking on more than one level, at sending coded messages that say different things to different people in a single word.
To moderate liberals, the selection of Biden sends a message that race has finally been transcended through the hard work of men and women like them. To the left, the message is that the old patriarchy is on the way out and is about to be replaced by a multicultural people's leadership that knows what a ridiculous joke the old white male power structure is. The left is not at all troubled when Republicans ridicule Biden. They chuckle because Republicans aren't in on the joke. Biden is meant to be them. They are Biden.
The left harbors its greatest contempt, not for Republicans, but for liberals. "I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy/I hope every colored boy becomes a star/But don't talk about revolution/That's going a little bit too far," Phil Ochs sang mockingly. "Love me, love me, I'm a liberal." Obama's people are singing Phil Ochs' song and displaying the traditional contempt for all the parts of the Democratic Party that aren't as committed to revolution as they are.
Biden is a joke because the Democratic Party is a joke. He represents what the left sees as the flaws of the Democratic Party and liberalism, the old white males who wanted slow reforms and gradual change instead of abrupt revolution. Obama's people could have chosen a more credible figure who would have provided useful cover, but instead they couldn't hold back their contempt.
That arrogance and contempt are the greatest flaws of the men and women looking down at the world from the capital city of the enemy nation that they have finally seized. They could replace Biden, they should replace Biden, but they probably won't. Their revolutionary ideals are fueled by their egotism. They want to overthrow everything not because they care about everyone, as they claim to, but because they truly don't care about anyone at all. Not only don't they care, but they feel nothing but contempt for the people looking up at them, pleading for jobs or tax relief. And it shows.
To the left race is a means to an end, it is not the end. Its collectivism requires enlisting individual groups dissatisfied with the system to help overthrow it in a coalition whose ultimate aims do not serve the needs of any of the individual groups. The racial identity of millions of African-Americans is a tool, like the former Senator from Delaware who somewhere beneath his hairpiece, past nerves deadened by Botox injections, harbors dreams of inheriting the job in 2016.
Biden still does not understand what he is. He is a fellow traveler, a dupe, a scarecrow of the old white male liberal establishment hung up over a cornfield to attract unknowing liberals while serving as a figure of fun to the left. And despite his corruption and arrogance, there is something sad and pathetic in the spectacle of a hollow man with capped teeth set in a grin making a fool of himself for the amusement of the Post-American crowd. A crowd that he thinks are laughing with him, when they are actually laughing at him.

Biden: It Won’t Cost Gov’t a Penny to Help More Homeowners If GOP Would ‘Just Get Out of the Way’

Biden: It Won’t Cost Gov’t a Penny to Help More Homeowners If GOP Would ‘Just Get Out of the Way’ By Melanie Hunter August 22, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at a high school in Detroit Wednesday, said “it won’t cost the government a penny” to help more homeowners stay in their homes, “if the Republicans would just get out of the way.”
Biden took credit for cutting taxes for the middle class “every year we’ve been in office,” adding that federal taxes for the middle class are “nearly at their lowest levels since the Eisenhower administration.”
“We cut small business taxes to help them grow. “We helped millions of families modify their mortgages so they could stay in their homes, and we helped more than a million refinance their mortgages saving $3,000 a year, but guess what?” Biden said.
“We could do it for another 12 million if the Republicans would just get out of the way, just get out the way. Right? Just get out the way. And it won’t cost the government a penny,” he added.

Of course it won't cost the government a penny, but it will cost those that pay taxes and ass load

Vice President Joe Biden: ‘Detroit’s Getting Back Up’
ABC News ^

Vice President Joe Biden: ‘Detroit’s Getting Back Up’
DETROIT – Revving up a crowd at a Detroit high school, Vice President Joe Biden offered up one of his father’s old adages to illustrate the tenacity the people of Detroit possess as their city works to recover from the crisis in the auto industry.
“My dad used to say you measure a man or woman – it wasn’t whether they got knocked down, but how quickly they got up. And guess what? Detroit’s getting back up,” Biden told an estimated crowd of 1,100 packed into a narrow hallway at Renaissance High School Wednesday.
Detroit’s unemployment rate remains more than a point above the national average, sitting at 9.7 percent in June, but over the past three years, the unemployment rate in the city has decreased dramatically from its 27.8 percent rate in July 2009. Michigan’s unemployment rate rose last month, jumping from 8.6 percent in June to 9 percent in July.
Biden, who called Mitt Romney a “decent” man despite boos emanating from the crowd, knocked the presumptive GOP nominee for the 2008 New York Times op-ed he penned with the headline “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” saying that the president’s approach to dealing with the auto industry proved successful.
“In spite of Gov. Romney’s insistence that we let Detroit go bankrupt, we rescued the automobile industry,” Biden said.
The Romney campaign claimed Biden’s comments about Detroit’s turnaround are “out of touch.”

Romney Children Mocked at Biden Fundraiser
Friday, August 24, 2012 | Kristinn
Posted on August 24, 2012 10:12:37 PM EDT by kristinn
Mitt Romney's children were mocked by actor Nathan Lane in remarks he made to Vice President Joe Biden as he introduced Biden at a campaign fundraiser today in Bridgehampton, New York.
The East Hampton Press reported:
Nathan Lane opened the event with comedic jabs at Republicans, namely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and also a few directed at Mr. Biden...
He mentioned that actress Edie Falco, a co-host, couldn’t be at the fundraiser with him because she was filming “Nurse Jackie,” a Showtime series. “I love Nurse Jackie,” he said. “She can’t get through the day without Vicodin, Adderall, Percocet, Xanax and Oxycodone —which, oddly enough, also happens to be the names of Mitt Romney’s five children,” he said.
The audience laughed...
The Obama campaign has conducted the most personal and dirty campaign in recent memory. This is just one more step in the gutter of personal attacks on the Romney family by the Obama campaign and its surrogates.
Four years ago Obama said the children of the candidates should be off limits. That was when he was pretending to walk the high road.

WARREN, Ohio – The vice president strode into a local restaurant here with a message for the Greek-Americans enjoying their lunch: "I'm Joe Bidenopoulos."
“Ask George,” he told some men gathered around a table at the Mocha House. It was unclear who George was, maybe someone at the table, but it was clear that the vice president was talking about himself when he said something about “the most Greek Irishman he’s ever known.”
The vice president also got a snack at restaurant, a Greek diner in downtown Warren.

Biden Does Retail Politics
4:00 PM, Aug 31, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Interesting details from Vice President Joe Biden's campaign trip today. From the pool report:
At 2:30, Biden stopped at Antone's Italian Grill, a slightly swankier-than-average, food booth. "I just ate lunch," Biden said before considering the options on the menu and then asking the staff for their recommendation. They suggested the $6 fried cheese -- balls of fried cheese, with tomato sauce and pasta. "This is a meal," he said, after being handed the plate. "Holy mackerel." He handed over a $20 bill and didn't ask for any change. "Good recommendation, man," he said after tasting the dish.
Biden posed for a few photos with the food in hand, before passing it off to an aide. He kept on greeting fairgoers, including a little boy with a dark blonde buzz cut. "I used to have hair like that. Look what happened," he said.
One woman, who the pool later identified as Bev Kalmer, of Poland, Ohio, told the VP: "Welcome to Ohio." His response: "I've been waitin' all day to be here."
She said "You gotta keep the chair" to him -- a reference to Clint Eastwood's speech last night at the RNC -- and he gave her a kiss right on the lips. She swooned. Asked if she wants Biden to run for president in 2016, she told the pool: "I don't know. We've got to keep the chair." She paused. "You got that? The invisible chair."

“As my little seven-year-old granddaughter would say,” Biden said, “‘Pap, did Caspy the ghost do that?’ I mean who did it? How did we get here?”
Biden introduced himself as “Joe Bidenopoulos” to a table of Greeks at a diner later in the day, according to pool reports.

Biden's Green Bay Gaffe: Claims Only 1,980 Troops Have Died in Afghanistan
newsbusters ^ | 9/3/12 | Tim Graham
Posted on September 3, 2012 7:46:37 PM EDT by Nachum
ABC reporter Arlette Saenz reported for The Note on Joe Biden’s speech Sunday in the Green Bay area, including this statement: "In Afghanistan, we have lost 1,980 fallen angels as of yesterday, and I’m precise because every single one of those lives deserves to be recognized. Wrong: The U.S. death toll in Afghanistan at the end of August was 2,101.
Biden somehow subtracted from the Defense Department count, ignoring three civilian casualties and 118 soldiers who died elsewhere after medical evaluation. Did they not deserve to be recognized?
Saenz led with Biden attacking Paul Ryan for failing to admit in his convention speech that he was a member of the Simpson-Bowles deficit commission.
She also missed Biden’s strange tangent about the Green Bay Packers at the beginning of the speech, where he claimed his Catholic high school teachers in Wilmington, Delaware – from the Norbertine religious order originating from the Green Bay area – taught that Vince Lombardi was included in the Sign of the Cross and the twelve Apostles were Packer greats. Then he added to this picture of Packer idolatry at a Catholic school, "I’m not kidding!"
"We always started homeroom with a prayer in the Catholic schools. And in our school it would go ‘In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost and Vince Lombardi, and it would go from there,’" he said.
"I tell ya, homeroom in the fall at Archmere Academy was a lot different than any other time of the year. That’s when we learned the names of the twelve Apostles – Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Jimmy Taylor, Max McGee, Boyd Dowler, Ray Nitschke, Willie Davis, Herb Adderly, Don Chandler, you get the point. That’s all we heard about, man! You think I’m kidding? I’m not kidding!"

Biden: 9/11 Anniversary Is A “Bittersweet Moment”…
Is it me or does “bittersweet” seem like a very odd (and inappropriate) choice of words?
Via Politico:
Vice President Joe Biden drew on the sorrow of his own personal losses as he addressed the memorial marking 11 years since United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a Pennsylvania field.
“It is a bittersweet moment for the entire nation,” Biden told families, friends and dignitaries gathered at the memorial to the 40 passengers and crew who died on Sept. 11, 2001.
“We wish we didn’t have to be here, wish we didn’t have to commemorate any of this,” he said, drawing on his own sudden loss, when his first wife and young daughter just before Christmas in 1972.

Biden to Firefighters: We're Going to Call, 'No Bullshit'
Sep 11, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
A little retail politics from Vice President Joe Biden on this September 11 anniversary in Pennsylvania, via the pool report:
Vpotus made an unannounced stop at the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department to say hi to the firefighters and arrived just in time for the barbeque and a little earthy talk.
Jumping out of his limousine, Vpotus immediately encountered Deputy Chief Brad Shober, 44, of Shanksville, whom he had met the year before when hosting the department at the Vice President’s Residence in Washington and then again a few days later in Shanksville on last year’s 9/11 anniversary.
Vpotus was talking about having Shober and the other firefighters back to Washington and pointed to an aide. “He’s going to call you, no bullshit,” Vpotus said. Then noticing the pool, said, “I didn’t know you guys were here.” Turning back to Shober, he cleaned up the language. “This is no malarkey. You come to the White House. I’ll buy you a beer.”
Shober, holding a Coke Zero, told your pool that Vpotus last year had given him one of his vice presidential challenge coins and told him, “’Next time I see you, if you have that coin, drinks are on me. If you don’t have it, drinks are on you.’ Now knowing that he might come, I made sure that was on my pocket.” Since Vpotus didn’t have his coin to show him back, he made the spontaneous invitation to come back to DC.
Vpotus worked the group of firefighters as he typically does, gripping their shoulders, joking with them, telling them Delaware stories. One firefighter said, “You got my vote.” Vpotus replied, “Thank you, man. That’s not why I’m here but thank you.”

Vice President Joe Biden may have stuck his foot in his mouth again on Friday, using an awkward off-the-cuff phrase to compliment high school cheerleaders during a campaign stop.
According to a pool report from Biden’s stop at Newport High School in Newport, N.H., the vice president arrived to talk to “about 100 students in their sports uniforms waiting for him in a semi-circle.”
“He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke,” the pool report, written by The New York Times’ Trip Gabriel, reads. “He began by asking which teams were represented — football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked. ‘Cheerleaders,’ a group of girls shouted.”
“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

Biden tells audience middle class has been 'buried' last four years
By Amie Parnes - 10/02/12 01:33 PM ET
Vice President Biden said Tuesday that the middle class has been “buried” for the last four years.
Biden made the remark at a campaign rally while arguing that Republicans would raise taxes on the middle class. He said the tax hike would be especially bad given what the middle class has been through over the last four years.
“This is deadly earnest, man. This is deadly earnest,” the vice president said. “How they can justify, how they can justify raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years? How in lord's name can they justify raising their taxes with these tax cuts.”
Republicans quickly seized on the remarks, accusing the Obama administration of implementing policies that have hurt the middle class.
“We agree, the middle class has been buried the past four years by Obama's failed policies from higher taxes to more debt, which is why he doesn't deserve another term in the White House to make it worse,” Kirsten Kukowski, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.
All of the Bush-era tax rates are set to expire at the end of the year. Republicans want to extend all of the tax rates, while Obama wants to end the lower rates for upper income households.
The vice president, campaigning in Charlotte and Asheville on Tuesday, was off to a bumpy start earlier in the day after his plane had to abort a landing attempt.
Biden, who arrived at his event more than an hour after its initial start time, told the crowd that there were some “queasy stomachs on our plane.”

Biden: 'This VP Stuff Is Tough'

Biden: 'This VP Stuff Is Tough'
by Ben Shapiro 4 Oct 2012, 2:08 PM PDT
According to press pool accounts, Vice President Joe Biden today made a stop in a Hy-Vee Store in Iowa to pick up some soup at a food counter. After grabbing some vegetable beef soup, he began complaining about the trials and tribulations of to-go food on the campaign trail.
“They’re hard on me, man,” Biden complained to other shoppers nearby. “This vice president stuff is tough.”
Peggy Nelson, a nearby customer, intoned, “That really sucks, doesn’t it?”
Shortly thereafter, Biden decided to make the acquaintance of one Karen Foley. After she introduced herself, he joked that his name was Joe Finnegan, since she had an Irish surname. She told him she knew who he was. “You’re very pretty,” he replied.
This is the third separate instance on the campaign trail in which Biden has flirted with the female constituency. He’s got a mini-war on women going. First, there was the kiss with a female admirer in Ohio. Then there was getting cozy with a biker gal in Ohio – he put her on his lap as two of her male friends looked on with death glares pasted on their faces.

During a speech at Ohio University in Athens, OH on September 8, Vice President Joe Biden led his audience to believe he had been a college football player for his alma mater -- Delaware University -- and had played against Ohio University in a 1963 football game.
His words contradicted his own memoir, in which he wrote he gave up playing football while at Delaware, and Internet records of past Delaware football team rosters, on which he is not listed.
In addition, an almunus interview with Joe Biden in the 1984 University of Delaware yearbook suggests that he may have only played intramural football, as he describes himself as having played "football and baseball intramurals."
On fanbase.com, a site that archives college football rosters, Biden is not listed on Delaware's 1961, 1962, 1963, or 1964 football rosters. Biden attended Delaware University from 1961 to 1965 and graduated in 1965 with a double major in history and political science.
In his September 8 speech, Biden, to set up a story about how he was almost arrested on Ohio University’s campus in 1963, said he came to Ohio University then because “my football team, the University of Delaware, came to avenge a loss” from 1961.
“I came ... I was a football player ... I came here in 1963 ... and we beat you Bobcats, 29-12,” Biden said.
Clearly, Biden was making the audience believe he had played football against Ohio University in 1963.
Reporters at the event thought so as well.
ABC News reported:
On this football Saturday, Biden recounted his first trip to Athens in 1963 when he was playing football at the University of Delaware, declaring, “I still am a football nut.”
Biden said he “went back in the Internet and I just want you to know I came here on October 19, 1963 and we beat you Bobcats 29-12." Internet records do show that Delaware did play and defeat Ohio on October 19, 1963--but that Biden was not on the roster.
He told the audience he was happy when Ohio University defeated Penn State in the first week of the 2012 college football season because “now I got bragging rights. Y’all beat Penn State, I can say, ‘Well, they beat Penn State and 500 years ago we beat them once.’”
Biden told a similar story during the 2008 campaign at an appearance at Ohio University on October 15, 2008.
The problem is, the story is not quite true -- by Biden's own admission -- and is another example of Biden’s exaggerations or embellishments.
In his memoir, Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics, which was released on August 25, 2008, Biden, on page 26 of the book, writes: “When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn’t be playing football."
Biden wrote that in the first semester of his junior year, which was in 1963, he decided to take “another run at the football team” even though he “hadn’t played for two years.”
On page 27, Biden claims he “surprised his coaches by moving up the depth chart fast” and, after the annual spring game that April, it looked like I had a shot to start at defensive back.”
He wrote he “couldn’t wait for next September” and “could almost see the fall season unfold in my head” until he headed to Florida for spring break “after our last practice.”
During spring break, Biden met Neilia Hunter, who would later become his first wife, and “fell ass over tin cup in love -- at first sight.”
On pages 32-33, Biden writes he was so in love with Hunter he had to decide “about football.”
Biden wrote he “realized that if I played football, my weekends were taken” and he wouldn’t see “much of Neilia in September, October, November ... into December if we made the playoffs":
I called the coach a few weeks before preseason started. “Coach, I’m not coming.”
“Who is this?”
"It’s Joe Biden, Coach. I’m not going to play this season.”
“Biden!? You realize you’ve got a shot to play this year?”
“I know, Coach, but I’m not coming. I'm not playing.... See, I met this girl, and she’s at Syracuse--”
Bzzzzzzzzzz was all I could hear. He’d hung up.
The only reference to Biden ever having played college football in any formal capacity is a September 5, 2008 article in the University of Delaware’s online news service, UDaily, in which Biden is the lone source:
Joe Biden once said he came to the University of Delaware in 1961 as a “half-baked halfback,” playing on the freshman football team that year under the late Scotty Duncan, and the Democratic vice presidential candidate remains a big fan of the Fightin' Blue Hens.
But even this account is doubtful, because on page 162 in the sports section of Delaware University’s 1961 yearbook, Biden is not listed on the freshman football team’s roster.
Biden has exaggerated other aspects of his college record in the past, misstating the number of degrees he obtained and how well he did in law school. He has admitted to plagiarizing a paper while attending Syracuse University College of Law.
Biden also withdrew from his 1988 campaign for president when he was caught plagiarizing British politician Neil Kinnock’s words and ideas on the stump during the Democratic primary.
The Obama campaign has attempted to set the stage for the vice presidential debate between Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan by calling Ryan a liar and referring to a mistake he made in exaggerating his marathon time.
Unlike Biden, however, Ryan corrected himself and apologized for the error--and faced media criticism for it. When Football Legend Joe Biden does it, "that's just Joe being Joe."

Joe Biden to Father of Former Navy SEAL Killed in Benghazi: ‘Did Your Son Always Have Balls the Size of Cue Balls?’
Posted on October 25, 2012 at 7:19pm by Jason Howerton
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was one of four Americans killed in the terrorist assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya on Sept. 11. (Image source: ABC News)
The father of one of the former Navy SEALs killed in the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya says President Barack Obama wouldn’t even look him in the eye and Vice President Joe Biden was disrespectful during the ceremony when his son’s body returned to America. He also says the White House’s story on the attack doesn’t pass the smell test.
Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, called into “The Glenn Beck Program” on TheBlazeTV Thursday and recounted his interactions with the president, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Biden at the ceremony for the Libya victims at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. He told host Glenn Beck that what they told him, coupled with new reports that indicate the Obama administration knew very good and well, almost immediately, that a terrorist attack was occurring in Benghazi, make him certain that the American people are not getting the whole truth.
Vice President Biden, as he has become known to do, reportedly made a wildly inappropriate comment to the father who had just lost his hero son.
Woods said Biden came over to his family and asked in a “loud and boisterous” voice, “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?”
“Are these the words of someone who is sorry?” said Woods.
.
The grieving father also described his brief encounter with President Obama during the ceremony for the Libya victims.
“When he finally came over to where we were, I could tell that he was rather conflicted, a person who was not at peace with himself,” Woods said. “Shaking hands with him, quite frankly, was like shaking hands with a dead fish. His face was pointed towards me but he would not look me in the eye, his eyes were over my shoulder.”
“I could tell that he was not sorry,” he added. “He had no remorse.”
Beck said he wanted to give the president “the benefit of the doubt,” and asked Woods how he could be sure that Obama wasn’t just uncomfortable or nervous during their conversation. Woods said it was Obama’s “demeanor.”
Hillary Clinton’s comments to Woods raise even more questions about the White House’s official story on the Benghazi attack, which has already been extremely inconsistent.
After apologizing for his loss, Woods said Clinton told him that the U.S. would “make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”
Obviously, Clinton was referring to the anti-Muslim YouTube video that the Obama administration spent nearly two weeks blaming for the attack. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, Clinton and the president himself all blamed the video at various points. Beck pointed out that the White House is now trying to claim that it has always considered terrorism as the cause of the attack.
“When she said that, I could tell that she was not telling me the truth,” Woods said about Clinton.
Watch part I of Wood’s interview with Beck here via TheBlazeTV:
Reading another State Department email that further calls into question the U.S. response to the attack, Beck revealed that the U.S. government was made aware that the compound in Benghazi was under attack by “mortar fire,” hardly a sign of a spontaneous protest.
“The question that I had in my mind,” Woods replied, “was why did we not do something to protect our forces?”
“We didn’t even dispatch anybody,” Beck lamented.
“You released the information that the White House within minutes of the attack, watched in real time the events unfolding,” Woods told Beck earlier in the program. “They denied the pleas for help and they watched my son die.”
Woods went on to read the following statement, in honor of his son:
“I want to honor my son, Ty Woods, who responded to the cries for help and voluntarily sacrificed his life to protect the lives of other Americans. In the last few days it has become public knowledge that within minutes of the first bullet being fired the White House knew these heroes would be slaughtered if immediate air support was denied. Apparently, C-130s were ready to respond immediately. In less than an hour, the perimeters could have been secured and American lives could have been saved. After seven hours fighting numerically superior forces, my son’s life was sacrificed because of the White House’s decision. This has nothing to do with politics, this has to do with integrity and honor. My son was a true American hero. We need more heroes today. My son showed moral courage. This is an opportunity for the person or persons who made the decision to sacrifice my son’s life to stand up.”
Tears in his eyes, Beck told Woods that his son was not even there for security purposes but after hearing cries for help he voluntarily protected his fellow Americans, knowing his life would be put in danger. Beck called Tyrone Woods a “hero” multiple times throughout the show.
“I am sorry for your loss, and I know there are millions of Americans that are sorry for your loss,” Beck concluded.

Biden: 'You’ll Vote for Me in 2016'

Biden: 'You’ll Vote for Me in 2016' Daniel Halper October 31, 2012 2:25 PM
According to the pool report, Vice President Joe Biden said on the campaign trail, "You'll vote for me in 2016."
[Biden] then takes the phone of the woman with the Republican brother. VP jokes that his sister talked about him being Republican, and he asked her to call him, so “we’re bound to lose his vote for sure.” The conversation quickly gets serious with the man seemingly talking to the VP about the health law.
“I think he met his match,” one man standing nearby said as the VP got into a detailed explanation of the law’s mechanics.
“Look, I’m not trying to talk you into voting for me, I just wanted to say hi to you. And after its all over when your insurance rates go down, then you’ll vote for me in 2016. I’ll talk to you later.”
Unclear if that constitutes a formal announcement. The VP, of course, said it in a joking manner.
Biden also had this bizarre exchange:
VP did turn to a group of guys then. To one of the men, VP asked: “Are you Indian?” “American!” the man responded. “No, I mean first generation,” he said, with the further explanation of what he was saying being inaudible to the pool.
And one woman told the vice president, he should watch the movie 2016:
The woman tells the VP: “You know what he said to me? He said you’ve got to watch ‘2016,’ and we watched it last night. He said if you watch that, he said you’re going to want to vote Republican.” The VP laughed.

Biden Calls Obama 'Homeboy'
6:01 PM, Nov 18, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Single PagePrintLarger TextSmaller TextAlerts
Visiting victims of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey today, Vice President Joe Biden told them not to worry, saying, "you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it." Biden was referring to President Barack Obama.
Here are Biden's remarks, via the pool report:
"If you’re not an Easterner it’s hard to understand that the ocean to us is the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park and everything else combined. It is a gigantic part of not only our economy but who we are. It’s a gigantic part of the culture as well.
And every time the rest of the country is in real trouble, New Jersey and Delaware and New York and Connecticut etcetera we respond, we respond. And it’s going to be a heavy lift. These are difficult times in terms of budgets but the president has made it clear that we are going to do everything we can to make sure that the Corps is fully funded, that FEMA has their needs and that all the programs that exist under the auspices of the federal government not only continue to exist but are funded so that we can make sure that this area of the country is fully fully fully restored.
So as the president said when he was up here with the governor, we’re not going anywhere. We’re not not going anywhere. And you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it."
UPDATE: Some suggest Biden here is referring to himself as a "homeboy," not President Obama.

Biden Congratulates Accused Child Rapist for Election He Didn't Win
Monday, 03 Dec 2012
By Stephen Feller
Vice President Joe Biden mailed a letter congratulating Republican candidate Eric Bodenweiser for his election to the Delaware State Senate, apparently unaware of one major thing: Bodenweiser bowed out of the race almost a month before election day after he was arrested on child rape charges.
Bryan Pettyjohn, who actually won the seat, started a write-in campaign after Bodenweiser was arrested, winning 60 percent of the vote on election day, according to Delaware Online.
The congratulatory letter to a winner in Biden’s home state apparently was based on Bodenweiser’s name still appearing in election records. State officials attempted to place signs in polling places and stickers on paper ballots to make voters aware of the change, however Department of Elections computer systems may not have noted the change.
Biden’s letter was received by Pettyjohn’s office with other form letters addressed to election winners, according to an unnamed staffer who referred to them as “suitable for framing.”
“As you prepare for the responsibilities and challenges of public office, I encourage you to reflect on the extraordinary moment we are living in,” Biden wrote. “We have an economy to improve, a workforce to rebuild, a Nation to defend, an environment to protect and a future to secure for our children.”
Bodenweiser was indicted on allegations he raped a boy 39 times, beginning when he was 13, between 1987 and 1990.

Joe Biden: U.S. nearly got power of the papacy

Vice President Joseph R. Biden said Wednesday the U.S. “almost had a chance at power” of the papacy, asserting that Boston Cardinal Sean O’Malley nearly got elected pope.
“We almost made it big,” Mr. Biden said. “We almost had a chance at power. We came that close, that close.”
~snip~
The vice president also read the first line of a poem by his grandfather called “My Mother’s Land A-Ruin,” the first line of which went: “Oh how I hate the name of England …” Mr. Biden asked members of the media to consider his recitation humorous.

Biden: 'There Should Be Two Senators from the State of D.C.'
Biden compares a woman coming of age to "a snake in the bed."
7:49 AM, May 2, 2013• By DANIEL HALPER
Send to Kindle
Single PagePrintLarger TextSmaller TextAlerts
Last night in Washington, Joe Biden stated that abused women fear getting "raped again by the system." He also made the push that Washington, D.C. should be its own state, with two U.S. senators.
Via the pool report:
Piles of Bidens are here. In addition to Kathleen [Biden's daughter], VP Biden's wife Jill, his sons Beau and Hunter, and his granddaughters Maisy and Finnegan are also here.
VP Biden began his remarks by praising Kathleen for the passion she brings to the cause. He described his initial push for VAWA in the early 90s, when "nobody thought very much of it," including women's groups. Biden singled out D.C. delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton for her help in getting it passed -- and gave a plug to D.C. having equal representation in Congress.
"By the way, there should be two senators from the state of D.C.," he said to hoots and hollers.
Two new U.S. senators from Washington, D.C. would almost surely be Democrats. In the last presidential election, President Obama picked up 91.4 percent of the vote in Washington, D.C.; Mitt Romney picked up only 7.1 percent.
Biden also made comments about women coming of age:
He spoke of the wonders of having granddaughters: "All you women out there: Daughters are wonderful. Granddaughters are betters." He lamented, though, that they grow up.
"When they're 12 to 14, a dad puts his beautiful little daughter to bed. And then the next morning, there's a snake in the bed."

Joe Biden: Al Gore ‘was elected president’.
By Rachel Rose Hartman, Yahoo! News
Political Reporter
By Rachel Rose Hartman, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – Wed, Jun 12, 2013
In remarks made on Tuesday night at a fundraiser for Massachusetts Senate candidate Ed Markey in front of an audience of donating (doting?) Democrats, Biden went for the jugular.
In a reference to Al Gore, who introduced Biden at the Washington, D.C., event, Biden said, "This man was elected president of the United States of America," according to the pool report.
"But for the good of the nation, when the bad decision, in my view, was made, he did the right thing for the nation," Biden continued.
The Supreme Court decided the 2000 presidential election in favor of George W. Bush, a decision accepted by former Vice President Gore. But the election left a deep wound in the Democratic Party, one that Biden was happy to pour salt in Tuesday as he sought to drum up cash as well as energy for Markey.
"I’ve served longer than all but 13 members of the United States Senate. I can’t think of very many who would put his country first like that at a really, really, really difficult time. There’s an awful lot of folks Al and I both know who have run for president and still haven’t gotten over it," Biden said.
“Al, you set an example for this country that is going to live as long as recorded history, about the man who won by a decision that I think constitutional scholars now and in the future will conclude was an ill-fated decision,” Biden said. “The way you stepped up, it was amazing.”
Democrats are eager to elect Markey later this month to succeed John Kerry, who was appointed secretary of state, and avoid a repeat of 2010. That year, Republican Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate special election, embarrassing Democrats with a stunning upset in the traditionally Democratic-leaning state.
Biden played on those feelings on Tuesday night by attacking well-known outspoken freshman Republicans in the senate—the ones that really get Democrats' hackles up.
“It’s a pretty simple proposition: The United States of America, and the state of Massachusetts, does not need another Republican in the Senate,” Biden said, also according to the pool report. “I’m being straight about this. This is not your father’s Republican Party. It really is a fundamentally different party. There’s never been as much distance, at least since I’ve been alive, distance between where the mainstream of the Republican congressional party is and the Democratic Party is. It’s a chasm. It’s a gigantic chasm.
“I’m not talking about the character or even the quality of the minds of the people I’m going to mention. But the last thing in the world we need now is someone who will go down to the United States Senate and support [Texas freshman Sen.] Ted Cruz, support the new senator from Kentucky—or the old senator from Kentucky," Biden said, referring to freshman Sen. Rand Paul and veteran Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“Think about this,” he said. “Have you ever seen a time when two freshman senators are able to cower the bulk of the Republican Party in the Senate? That is not hyperbole.”
President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak on Wednesday at an event for Markey in Roxbury Crossing, Mass.

Obama: History Will View Biden as 'One of Best' Vice Presidents Ever
Friday, 06 Dec 2013
By Melissa Clyne
President Barack Obama predicts that gaffe-prone Vice President Joe Biden “will go down as in history as one of the best vice presidents ever.”
“And he has been with me, at my side, in every tough decision that I've made — from going after (Osama) bin Laden to dealing with the health care issues to, you name it, he's been there,” the president told MSNBC's Chris Matthews, USA Today reports.
But when pressed, Obama refused to choose between Biden or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should both seek the White House in 2016.
"Not a chance am I going there," he told Matthews, quickly channeling a politician’s savvy.
"Both Hillary and Joe would make outstanding presidents, and possess the qualities that are needed to be outstanding presidents,” he said during the 40-minute interview at American University in Washington.
Hillary Clinton, he continued, will also make history as one of the finest secretaries of state.
She “helped to transition us away from a deep hole that we were in when I first came into office around the world. And to rebuild confidence and trust in the United States.”
According to MSNBC, Clinton leads various polls asking voters who they would support for president in 2016. One recent poll showed 70 percent of voters favored Clinton, compared with just 9 percent for Biden.
Biden, famous for sticking his foot in his mouth, referred to as “Bidenisms,” most recently made headlines when he mistakenly called the wrong Martin Walsh to congratulate him on becoming Boston’s next mayor.
Some other noteworthy Bidenisms:
You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking," Biden said in a private remark to an Indian-American man caught on C-SPAN, June, 2006.
“A successful dump!" Biden said, explaining his trip dropping deadwood at the dump to the reporters outside his home in Wilmington, Del., on Aug. 20, 2008.
"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs," Biden said in Athens, Ohio, on Oct. 15, 2008.

Biden’s Gavel Gaffe in Poland
BY JONATHAN ALLEN | MARCH 18, 2014
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden (L) and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk talk during their meeting in Warsaw, Poland on March 18, 2013.
Vice President Joe Biden wandered a little off course on a trip down memory lane today.
“Fifteen years ago, I was honored, as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to lead the fight for Poland’s admission into NATO,” Biden said in Warsaw during a visit designed to reassure America’s Eastern European allies in the wake of Russia’s move to take control of Crimea.
The only problem: Biden wasn’t chairman back then.
It was Sen. Jesse Helms, a North Carolina Republican, who guided the committee and launched the floor debate on granting NATO accession to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Biden did lead minority Democrats in approving the treaty resolution, after having initially expressed doubts about the political viability of expanding NATO.
“If we are really going to alienate the Russians,” Biden asked in January 1997, according to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, “what are we going to get for it?”
Biden went on to make the point that it needed more public discourse — which it got before he signed on — to have any chance of winning popular support.
“Right now, if I stand up and start talking with my constituents about the price, if I tell them, ‘We are about to extend our nuclear umbrella to Slovakia,’ I wonder how many people in Dagsboro, Del., are going to say, ‘Hey, that’s a great idea.’”
By the time the Senate was ready to debate the treaty in committee and on the floor, Biden had become an ardent advocate for its approval.
“The committee, under Chairman Helms’ leadership, has been holding a series of comprehensive hearings since October on the pros and cons of enlarging NATO,” Biden said on the floor Feb. 11, 1998. “For 40 years, the United States loudly proclaimed its solidarity with the captive nations of Central and Eastern Europe who were under the heel of communist oppressors. Now that most of them have cast off their shackles, it is our responsibility, in my view, to live up to our pledges to readmit them into the West through NATO and the European Union as they qualify.”

Biden exposed: Book claims veep enjoys swimming in the nude
Published August 01, 2014
FoxNews.com
It's Biden in the buff.
A forthcoming book that claims to give a behind-the-scenes look at the people the Secret Service protects reportedly airs some tantalizing details about Vice President Biden's swimming habits.
According to a New York Daily News account of the book, Secret Service agents say Biden likes to swim nude -- to the chagrin of some in his detail.
"Agents say that, whether at the vice president's residence or at his home in Delaware, Biden has a habit of swimming in his pool nude," journalist and author Ronald Kessler reportedly writes in "The First Family Detail," due to come out next week. "Female Secret Service agents find that offensive."
Scandalous tidbits from the book -- including about the Clintons -- have been dripping out over the past several weeks, in the lead-up to the release. According to the Daily News, Biden's skinny-dipping isn't the only thing agents complain about.
They also reportedly worry that the vice president puts too many restrictions on his detail when he's in Delaware, keeping them from interfering with his neighbors. One unnamed agent reportedly voiced security concerns about this practice.
Kessler claimed that the Biden detail is considered the second-worst job in the Secret Service, next to the Hillary Clinton detail.
Kessler used to work for The Washington Post, and later went to work for the conservative site Newsmax. He has written extensively about the Secret Service, and broke the story in 2012 about the prostitution scandal involving agents during a presidential visit to Colombia.
His books, though, have been trashed by Democrats for their sometimes-sensational elements, attributed to anonymous sources.

Joe Biden Apologizes For 'Poor Choice Of Words' After Making Reference To 'Shylocks'
HUNTER WALKER
SEP. 17, 2014
Vice President Joe Biden issued a statement to Business Insider on Wednesday apologizing for his "poor choice" of words after a comment he made about "shylocks" drew criticism from Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman.
Foxman noted the expression "shylocks" has roots in "the medieval stereotype about Jews and remains an offensive characterization to this day." At the same time, Foxman also complimented the vice president as "friendly to the Jewish community" and an "open and tolerant individual."
In his statement, Biden said Foxman was "correct" in his assessment.
“Abe Foxman has been a friend and advisor of mine for a long time. He’s correct, it was a poor choice of words, particularly as he said coming from ‘someone as friendly to the Jewish community and open and tolerant an individual as is Vice President Joe Biden.’ He’s right,” Biden said.
Biden made the remark during a speech to the Legal Services Corporation on Tuesday in which he criticized those who would take advantage of military service members with "bad loans" as "Shylocks who took advantage of these women and men while overseas."

Biden continues to apologize; first Turkey, now UAE
BY ROY GUTMAN
McClatchy Foreign Staff
October 5, 2014
ISTANBUL — Vice President Joe Biden apologized to the United Arab Emirates Sunday for charging that the oil-rich ally had been supporting al Qaida and other jihadi groups in Syria's internal war, his second apology in as many days to a key participant in the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State extremists.
The White House said Biden telephoned Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed of Abu Dhabi to say that his recent remarks “regarding the early stages” of the conflict in Syria “were not meant to imply that the Emirates had facilitated or supported” the Islamic State, al Qaida or other extremist groups in Syria.
But his apology, one day after expressing similar regrets to Turkey, left open whether the Emirates had supported the rise of al Qaida during the early stages of the war in Syria.
Biden was answering questions at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government Thursday when he veered off the official talking points to declare, “Our allies in the region were our largest problem” in preventing the spread of al Qaida in Syria.
“The Saudis, the Emiratis; what were they doing?” he said. “They were so determined to take down (Syrian President Bashar) Assad and have a proxy Sunni-Shia war, they poured hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad. Except that the people who were being supplied were (Jabhat) al Nusra and al Qaida, and the extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world.”
The UAE foreign minister, Anwar Gargash, Sunday demanded a formal clarification, saying that Biden’s remarks were “far from the truth” and gave a “negative and inaccurate impression.” The UAE’s approach to counter-terrorism “recognizes the extent of the danger posed by terrorism to the region and to its people,” he said
Biden raised ire in Turkey by quoting from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during their meeting during the U.N. General Assembly.
“President Erdogan told me, ‘You were right. We let too many people through. So we’re trying to seal the border,’” Biden quoted him as saying.
Erdogan retorted that Turkey had not provided “even the smallest amount of support” to any terrorist organization. As for his reputed confession, he said: “I never admitted any mistake, nor did we tell them that they 'were right' during my visit to the U.S.” And he said if Biden didn’t apologize, “then he will be history for me.”
In his apology to Erdogan, as relayed by the White House, the vice president did not retract the quotation he attributed to the Turkish leader. Instead, he “apologized for any implication that Turkey or other Allies and partners in the region had intentionally supplied or facilitated the growth of ISIL or other violent extremists in Syria.”
ISIL is one of several acronyms used to identify the group known as the Islamic State.
The other two countries Biden named were Saudi Arabia, which is about to host the U.S.-funded training of thousands of Syrian rebel fighters, and Qatar, which houses a covert CIA training facility for Syrian rebels.
Biden said Saudi Arabia “has stopped the funding” going to extremists in Syria, and the Qataris “have cut off their support for the most extreme elements of the terrorist organizations.” Neither country has publicly demanded an apology so far.
Although senior U.S. officials have hinted that at least one Gulf country had been supporting Jabhat al Nusra, the Al Qaida-backed militia in Syria, no one had named the countries in a public forum until Biden. His remarks raised a number of questions: what form did the aid take, how long did it continue and what impact did it have on fighting on the ground?
Biden also took aim at Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. He compared the collaboration with Riyadh to World War II, when the United States and Britain made common cause with the Soviet Union under dictator Joseph Stalin. “We knew Stalin was no-good SOB from the beginning,“ Biden said, answering a student’s question about Saudi human rights practices. “But there is a thing called self-interest.”
He said the U.S. criticized the Saudi practice of beheading criminals and not granting equality to women.
“We have not remained silent with Saudi Arabia,” he said. ”I have certainly not been silent with Saudi Arabia.”

Nine Apologies Biden Owes Americans
by KEITH KOFFLER on OCTOBER 6, 2014
In recent days, Vice President Biden has issued apologies to the no doubt unimpeachably honorable and suitably aggrieved leaders of Turkey and the United Arab Emirates for insulting them by saying they had supported Islamists.
While Biden expressing serial regrets, I wonder, what if the thought occurred to him to apologize to the American people? Not for silly gaffes or little blunders, but for professional-league, first-class outrages that are unacceptable coming from a vice president, even this one.
He might say . . .
1. I am sorry for telling an audience of African Americans during the campaign that Mitt Romney was “going to put you all back in chains.”
2. I am sorry for mocking Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan during the debate with constant, staged, laughter. Not only was the giggling insulting, nasty and inappropriate, it was undignified for a vice president and even scarily odd.
3. I am sorry for opposing the special forces raid that took out Osama Bin Laden. Thank God the president didn’t take my advice.
4. I am sorry for revealing that the Navy SEALs killed Bin Laden.
5. I am sorry for making an adjusted gross income of $385,072 in 2012 and giving only 1.9 percent of it to charity, a percentage similar to the minuscule amounts I had given in the past.
6. I am sorry for telling Americans to walk out on their balconies and fire a double barrel shotgun into the air to scare off a potential intruder. It’s a felony in many states and someone was actually arrested for taking my advice.
7. I am sorry for comparing Republicans during the 2012 campaign to the Know Nothing Party, a xenophobic and sometimes violently anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant movement that existed during the 1850s.
8. I am sorry for excusing the Chinese for their barbaric “one child policy,” which is not only a oppressive, totalitarian measure but one that has resulted in the death of little girls.
9. I am sorry for saying in 2010 that President Obama’s Iraq policy could go down as one of Obama’s “great achievements.” It wasn’t his achievement, it was Bush’s, and he was actually in the process of screwing it up.

VP Joe Biden Has Factual Revelation and Joins Middle Class Bashing of Obama
BY MICHAEL HAUSAM (2 DAYS AGO) | EDITOR'S CHOICE, NATION, POLITICS
In Iowa, during a stump speech for behind-in-the-polls Democrat Senate candidate Bruce Braley, Vice President Joe Biden apparently neglected to recall who has been in charge of the country for the last six years.
The takeaway:
According to all the statistics, all the economic policy institutes, and all these groups that are outside experts in the economy, the gross domestic product means the nation grew over the last ten years by over 25 percent, and productivity went up over 30 percent.
But middle class wages went up by only 14 cents. Hear me? 14 cents. You know it. You don’t have to know the number, but you know. The middle class has been left behind.
Indeed.
Under this President, income inequality has actually increased. The overwhelming majority of income gains under Obama have been to the top 1% of earners. And this is despite an almost constant drumbeat from the administration against income inequality.
Furthermore, even as he touts the GDP gain of 25% over the last ten years, that averages a measly 2.5% per year. That’s just barely above the population growth rate and certainly not a sign of success. For example, under Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, GDP growth averaged 3.8%.
The middle class has certainly been left behind. Now, Middle Class Joe, show us what you can do about it.

Liberal Writer: Gaffe-Prone Joe Biden Seems to Have Been ‘Made in a Lab By the Editors of The Onion’
By Tom Johnson | January 11, 2015
Political partisans tend to downplay stumbles and goofs by their allies, so lefty writer Alana Levinson deserves credit for her Thursday column at Talking Points Memo in which she went after Vice President Joe Biden for many of his gaffes, especially "lecherous" comments that fit "the classic definition of sexual harassment."
Levinson admitted that liberals generally overlook Biden’s boo-boos because “we like his politics. In terms of women’s issues, he’s got the gold stars.” She acknowledged her reservations about “aligning myself with conservatives who love crying ‘double standard’ on issues like this, not because they actually care about feminism, but to push their liberal media bias agenda…But not wanting to cede a point to the right doesn’t justify ignoring questionable behavior.”
From Levinson’s piece, headlined “Why Does Creepy Uncle Joe Biden Get a Pass From Liberals?” (bolding added):
A swearing-in featuring Joe Biden is gaffe-porn…But are these really just “aw, shucks, dad” moments, another blunder we have come to expect from Uncle Joe? Or is it…kinda creepy? And why does he get a pass from progressives?...
…It was clear from [the day Obama chose Biden as the VP nominee] that Biden’s personality would be a gift to American pop culture. And the gift would just keep on giving:..
…Basically, he was man-made in a lab by the editors of The Onion...
…[At the 2013 Senate swearing-in, Biden] told a senator's mom she was beautiful; he jokingly instructed Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s family to "spread your legs, you're gonna be frisked!” It was awe-inspiring to see a politician so seemingly unaware of cultural norms.
At this year’s swearing-in, of course Biden was out in all his glory. On Tuesday, I wrote about Maggie, the young daughter of Sen. Chris Coons who rejected Biden’s whispers and kiss, complete with an affectionate headline. That wasn’t the only cringeworthy moment of the night. When introduced to Sen. Orrin Hatch's granddaughter, Biden joked: “I hope you have a big fence around the house!”…
…What would I say if a Republican did the same thing? I’m pretty sure that the kind of “uncle” he is would change from endearing to lecherous.
Now I'm wondering whether I'm a "bad liberal" to call him out. That means aligning myself with conservatives who love crying “double standard” on issues like this, not because they actually care about feminism, but to push their liberal media bias agenda.
But not wanting to cede a point to the right doesn’t justify ignoring questionable behavior…As early as 2007, when [Biden] called Obama “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," or said "you cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent,” we have forgiven him. We offer arguments like: That’s just good ol’ Joe. He doesn’t get it. He’s of a different generation.
Liberals do this because we like his politics. In terms of women’s issues, he’s got the gold stars…
He’s pro-choice and as a senator in 1990, he introduced the Violence Against Women Act…
…The kind of sexism that Biden exhibits is perhaps the most pernicious kind, because it’s so easily waved away. It’s the classic definition of sexual harassment, the kind that most women tolerate on a daily basis from coworkers or friends...
…[B ]eing a public figure who supports women means more than just supporting political causes. It also means treating them with respect, especially in public. If progressives are really committed to combating sexism, they have to be indiscriminate about calling it out—even if it means indicting one of their own.

it's 2015. Generation selfie. the more shit a candidate says about "i'd hit that", the more idiots will support it. Remember all the immature, generation selfie shit that obama used in 2008?
it's not about class, statesmanship, being safe, or anything like that anymore. In 2016, it'll be a brash rock star repub knocking the old horse hilary off, or it'll be "give no fcks" biden challenging her in the primaries strong.
honestly, we're all over 30, college educated people that follow politics here. The average idiot doesn't vote on GDP, they vote on which candidate they'd rather take selfies and smoke pot with.

BIDEN: I ACTUALLY THINK CONGRESS IS AN EQUAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT
by PAM KEY10 Feb 2015
Tuesday, during an event Vice President Joe Biden hosted for lawmakers and disability advocates who helped pass the ABLE Act, he said, “I actually think it’s [Congress] an equal branch of government.”
Presumably referencing complaints about President Barack Obama’s executive branch overreach the vice president joked, “I served the Congress for 36 years and as they know, I actually think it’s an equal branch of government, because that’s where I come from and it is.”

Biden searches for his ‘old butt buddy’ in Iowa
Published February 13, 2015
FoxNews.com
Vice President Biden keeps outdoing himself.
The veep -- renowned for two things: his love of Amtrak and his conspicuous lack of a filter -- appeared to give a shout-out on Thursday to his old "butt buddy."
He spoke in Iowa, where his visit stirred a modest amount of speculation about a possible 2016 run -- despite having little campaign infrastructure in place. But even if he runs, he reminded the audience he's still the same Joe as he wondered aloud where an old friend, and former Iowa congressman, was.
Roll the tape:
"And Neal Smith, an old butt buddy, are you here Neal?" Biden said. "Neal, I miss you, man. I miss you."
Some reports have speculated that Biden, who overcame a stutter when he was young, simply stumbled over his words.
But "butt buddy" is an actual phrase that can be used as a term for two people who are just very close friends -- at least, according to Urban Dictionary.
Urban Dictionary lists several alternative definitions.

Biden places hands on shoulders of defense secretary's wife in latest gaffe

It was just another example of Vice President Biden grabbing headlines in a feel-good moment.
What began as a routine swearing-in ceremony for new Defense Secretary Ashton Carter on Tuesday morphed into a social media celebration when Biden awkwardly placed his hands upon Carter's wife, Stephanie.
As Carter began speaking, Biden beckoned Stephanie Carter from across the room, then put both hands on her shoulders. They lingered there for roughly 20 seconds until Biden leaned in and whispered in her ear.
Soon after, Ashton Carter reached over to place his right hand on Stephanie's shoulder.
Then, a few hours later, Biden was discussing Minneapolis' large Somali community and noted his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, also has a large Somali presence. Biden said he has great relations with them "because an awful lot of them are driving cabs."
Both incidents sparked prompt and voluminous reactions on social media.

Biden Stuns Summit With Remarks About Somali Cab Drivers
Wednesday, 18 Feb 2015
By John Blosser
Vice President Joe Biden stunned attendants at a three-day White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism Tuesday with his puzzling comments about Somali cab drivers.
Speaking before representatives of about 60 countries attending the summit, Biden said, "If you ever come to the train station with me, you’ll notice that I have great relationships with them because there’s an awful lot of them driving cabs and are friends of mine, for real," Politico reported.
For many of those present, Biden's off-the-cuff remarks brought back memories of his earlier gaffes, common enough to be termed "Bidenisms." They include a comment about Indian-Americans in 2006, when he said, "I’ve had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking," CBS News reported.
And, in 2007, Biden said of President Barack Obama, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man," CNN reported.
Biden, 72, also recently raised eyebrows with his "touchy-feely" actions toward Stephanie Carter, new Defense Secretary Ash Carter's wife, during Carter's swearing-in ceremony, when Biden approached her from behind, placed both hands on her shoulders and leaned over to whisper in her ear for 20 seconds, the Star Tribune reported.
Politico noted that the Somali comments especially caused a reaction because two Somali men were charged with aiding the Islamic State (ISIS) in November in Minnesota.
The Daily Caller reported that last year it was estimated that 15 Somali Muslims from Minnesota had traveled to the Middle East to join ISIS, and that Liban Haji Mohamed, a former Washington, D.C., cab driver of Somali descent, had wound up on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List for allegedly supporting Al Shabaab, a group linked to al-Qaida in Somalia.
Biden, who has hinted he may try a run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016, even added that his comments were, "For real. I'm not being solicitous. I'm being serious," the Huffington Post reported.
"Nationally, Biden is just regarded as almost a novelty," Kyle Kondik, political analyst at the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said, the Star Tribune reported.
"It cuts two ways. He gets away with some stuff that others might not get away with, but it also makes him seem like a less serious person than he'd like to be."
Biden told the summit, "National security flows from a sense of community," adding, "inclusion counts," The Associated Press reported.
"We haven't always gotten it right but we have a lot of experience integrating communities into the American system, the American dream."

Biden launches 2020 bid warning ‘soul’ of America at stake
By STEVE PEOPLES and THOMAS BEAUMONT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Joe Biden formally joined the crowded Democratic presidential contest on Thursday, declaring the “soul of this nation” at stake if President Donald Trump wins re-election.
In a video posted on Twitter , Biden focused on the 2017 deadly clash between white supremacists and counter protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia. Biden noted Trump’s comments that there were some “very fine people” on both sides of the violent encounter, which left one woman dead.
“We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” Biden said. “If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation — who we are. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen.”
The 76-year-old Biden becomes an instant front-runner alongside Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is leading many polls and has proved to be a successful fundraiser . Biden has legislative and international experience that is unmatched in the Democratic field , and he is among the best-known faces in U.S. politics.
Hours after former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden launched his presidential bid he briefly spoke to reporters at Wilmington's Amtrak station.
He quickly racked up endorsements on Thursday morning, becoming the first Democrat running for president with the backing of more than one U.S. senator.
Still, Biden must compete in a field that now spans at least 20 Democrats and has been celebrated for its racial and gender diversity. As an older white man with occasionally centrist views, Biden has to prove he’s not out of step with his party. He’s yet to outline his positions on the issues defining the 2020 Democratic primary, most notably “Medicare for All,” the universal health care plan authored by Sanders that has been adopted by virtually the entire Democratic field.
His critics in both major political parties were also quick to pounce.
“The old guard of the Democratic Party failed to stop Trump, and they can’t be counted on to lead the fight against his divide-and-conquer politics today,” the liberal group Justice Democrats tweeted. “The party needs new leadership with a bold vision capable of energizing voters in the Democratic base who stayed home in 2016.”
Biden, a native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, is betting that his working class appeal and ties to Barack Obama’s presidency will help him win over such skeptics. Obama has declined to endorse Biden, however, and several former Obama aides are now working for other candidates.
“I asked President Obama not to endorse,” Biden told reporters as he arrived in Delaware Thursday. “Whoever wins this nomination should win it on their own merits.”
While he hasn’t endorsed anyone in the crowded field, Obama took the unusual step of weighing in on Thursday’s announcement.
“President Obama has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made,” Obama spokeswoman Katie Hill said. “He relied on the vice president’s knowledge, insight, and judgment throughout both campaigns and the entire presidency. The two forged a special bond over the last 10 years and remain close today.”
Trump welcomed Biden to the campaign in a tweet calling him “Sleepy Joe.”
“I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign,” Trump said. “It will be nasty - you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate.”

Privately, Trump allies have warned that Biden might be the biggest re-election threat given the former vice president’s potential appeal among the white working class in the Midwest, the region that gave Trump a path to the presidency.
Biden is paying special attention to his native Pennsylvania, a state that swung to Trump in 2016 after voting for Democratic presidential candidates for decades. While Biden represented Delaware in the Senate for 36 years, he was often referred to as Pennsylvania’s third senator.
The former vice president will be in the state three times within the opening weeks of his campaign. He’ll be in Philadelphia on Thursday evening headlining a fundraiser at the home of David L. Cohen, executive senior vice president of Comcast. Biden is aiming to raise $500,000 at the event.
He will hold his first public event as a 2020 presidential candidate in Pittsburgh on Monday. Then it’s off to Iowa, home of the leadoff nominating caucuses on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by two days in South Carolina. He’ll visit the other two early-voting states, Nevada and New Hampshire, in early May, before holding a major rally in Philadelphia.
Biden’s first media appearance is set for Friday morning on ABC’s “The View,” a move that may help him make an appeal to women whose support will be crucial to winning the primary. He also hired Symone Sanders to serve as a senior strategist, tapping a prominent African American who previously worked for Biden’s chief competitor, Bernie Sanders, in the 2016 presidential contest.
As he neared his campaign launch, Biden’s challenges have come into greater focus.
He struggled last month to respond to claims that he touched 2014 Nevada lieutenant governor nominee Lucy Flores’ shoulders and kissed the back of her head before a fall campaign event. A handful of other women have made similar claims, though none has alleged sexual misconduct.
Biden, a former U.S. senator from Delaware, pledged in an online video to be “much more mindful” of respecting personal space but joked two days later that he “had permission” to hug a male union leader before addressing the group’s national conference.
Biden also has been repeatedly forced to explain his 1991 decision, as Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, to allow Anita Hill to face difficult questions from an all-male panel about allegations of sexual harassment against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, who later was confirmed to the high court.
He has since apologized for his role in the hearing. But in the #MeToo era, particularly after the contentious confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the episode remains a significant political liability.
Likewise, Biden once played a key role in anti-crime legislation that had a disproportionately negative impact on African Americans. And while several 2020 Democratic contenders have embraced the possibility of reparations to African Americans for slavery in recent weeks, Biden last month struggled to explain comments he made as a freshman senator in 1975 about the school busing debate.
His first White House bid in 1988 ended after a plagiarism scandal. He dropped out of the 2008 race after earning less than 1% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses. Later that year, Obama named Biden as his running mate.
Boyd Brown, a prominent South Carolina Democrat backing Beto O’Rourke, said Biden’s opening salvo stands out.
“This is very strong out of the chute. Well done. Biden just sucked the wind out of the sails for much of the field,” he said.
But he noted that announcement bumps fade and said Biden still has “to campaign the same aggressive way for the next nine months.”

Hunter Biden on his affair with brother's widow: 'Love people & find a way to love yourself'
washington examiner ^ | January 19, 2019 | Sean Higgins
Posted on 4/25/2019, 12:03:48 PM by UMCRevMom@aol.com
Former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, said that his father counseled him not to worry about hurting the family's "public profile" when it came to his private life, which includes divorcing his wife and engaging in an affair with his late brother Beau's widow, Hallie.
"Even though my life has been played out in the media, because I am a Biden, my father never once suggested that the family's public profile should be my priority. The priority has always been clear for my dad, as it is, now, for me: Never run from a struggle. Love people and find a way to love yourself," Hunter Biden, 48, said in a letter to Vanity Fair.
The younger Biden's letter was in response to a magazine profile of the former vice president, a top contender for the potential 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. The article noted Hunter's ugly 2017 divorce from his wife, Kathleen, following 23 years of marriage and three children as a potential image problem for the family.
Kathleen initiated the break-up, citing irreconcilable differences in a D.C. Court filing. She claimed in divorce papers that he had spent "extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills."
Hunter was discharged from the Navy Reserve, where he had been working as a public affairs officer, in 2014 after he tested positive for cocaine. In response to Kathleen's filing, Hunter's lawyers demanded that she furnish any letters, emails, or other messages "between you and any person that you had a romantic or sexual relationship with other than your husband during the marriage."
After the filing became public, Hunter Biden acknowledged that he had become involved with Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau. It is unclear when the relationship between the two began. Beau Biden, the former attorney general for the Bidens' home state of Delaware, died of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.
Hunter Biden said at the time, "Hallie and I are incredibly lucky to have found the love and support we have for each other" and that "family and friends ... have supported us every step of the way.”
In response to the Vanity Fair inquiry about his affair, Hunter Biden said: "What you fail to realize, in asking such a question, is that my father has always been proud of me — whether when I was volunteering for the Jesuits, or working as a lawyer. And he remains proud of me today. He loves me. And he loves the American people far too much to let any form of adversity stand in the way of service."
Joe Biden issued a statement backing his son. "We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jill’s full and complete support, and we are happy for them," he said.
Hunter Biden told Vanity Fair that his father would not let the controversy be a factor in whether he decides to officially seek the presidency again. "[H]e remains proud of me today. He loves me. And he loves the American people far too much to let any form of adversity stand in the way of service," he said.
He sought to portray the controversy as one of the several tragedies the Biden family has endured. "Pain is one of the unavoidable facts of life. We Bidens have had our share. We don't pretend, otherwise. And we don't pretend that we are different from families all over America that have to face the loss of loved ones, or have to deal with the fallout of divorces," Hunter Biden said.
Joe Biden, who will be 78 years old in 2020, is an early front-runner in the Democratic primary. He has sought the presidency numerous times previously, mounting his first bid in 1984. His 1988 bid was derailed over a controversy regarding whether he plagiarized a speech. He also ran unsuccessfully in 2008 but was picked by President Barack Obama to be his running mate.

Obama staffers deleted speeches about the immigration crisis hours before Trump’s inauguration
BY MARCUS BARAM
06.11.19
In the last hours of the Obama administration’s time in office, staffers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed hundreds of speeches and testimonies dating back to 2004 from the agency’s website, according to a watchdog group.
The transcripts contained “prepared remarks submitted to congressional committees, often on controversial topics like the standard of medical treatment for detainees, treatment of unaccompanied children, sanctuary cities, drug trafficking, and E-Verify,” according to the Sunlight Foundation’s Web Integrity Project. The group says they were removed between the early afternoon of January 18 and late evening of January 19 in 2017, mere hours before the inauguration of Donald Trump.
“With a couple of clicks of a mouse, access to a federal government web resource containing 12 years of primary source materials on ICE’s history was lost,” notes the group in a blog post.
Given the heated coverage of the immigration crisis at the Mexican border, it’s notable that the scrubbed speeches included testimony from Thomas Homan, then executive assistant director of enforcement and removal operations who was appointed acting director of ICE by President Trump soon after his inauguration.
In a February 2016 statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the “Unaccompanied Children Crisis,” Homan described how the agency used contractors to “effectuate” the transportation of “UC” (unaccompanied children) and detailed the “important steps” the Obama administration had taken to “deter illegal immigration.” In another transcript removed from the site, Homan described how local jurisdictions that chose to limit or decline “cooperation with ICE” put “the public at risk.”
As the Web Integrity Project notes, considering the partisan wrangling over the immigration crisis, “it is not inconceivable that an outgoing Democratic administration might want to avoid preserving these public stances for future scrutiny.” But it remains unclear why those transcripts were removed.
A rep for ICE did not return a request for comment.
Some of the transcripts were available elsewhere online, such as the Government Publishing Office and the Department of Homeland Security, but others were not. The Sunlight Foundation found that “we were unable to track down a large number of the speeches,” detailing its efforts in this spreadsheet and emphasizing the importance of web archiving by outgoing administrations.

FYI
None of these posts will persuade me NOT to vote for Biden.
Nothing I could post here would persuade you (or other Trumpers ) to vote Biden over Trump.
I'm just being honest and trying to point out the futility of trying to debate on this or other forums.
Dos, you seem like a smart informed man and I'm not trying to fuk with you. 100% serious.
A lot of the stuff you post seems to have a built in conclusion .
In simple terms, it has no effect on my vote.
BOTH sides have already decided and the election comes down to a small % of undecided or independents.
I now that sounds bad, but think about it like this:
It would take a lot more then anti-Trump forum posts to sway your vote or most Trumpers on here.
So , it's useless to even try to debate this kind of stuff.
NOW, the stuff on UFO's and other issues is a different class of information.
I'm more into debating that now. Thanks and all the best in Hawaii.
You invested a lot of time in this straw man point of yours. I never said I was trying to convince you anything. I don't care one iota who or what you vote for.
I post information and opinion. You and anyone else are obviously free to read it, ignore it, discuss it, etc. Doesn't matter to me.

Biden puts foot in mouth with ‘gay waiter’ comment at Pride weekend fundraiser
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News
Joe Biden still facing criticism on his comments on race after the first presidential debate
Democratic strategists Kevin Walling and Max Burns weigh in on the aftermath of the first 2020 Democratic presidential debate.
Joe Biden continues to dig holes for himself with gaffes, even when he means well.
During a campaign fundraiser in Seattle on Saturday, the former vice president tried to illustrate how far the United States has come when it comes to the treatment of the LGBT community, but he apparently missed the mark.
Biden claimed that just five years ago, it would have been acceptable for a businessman to make “fun of a gay waiter,” the Washington Examiner reported. Those in attendance at the event, which took place at the home of public relations executive and gay rights activist Roger Nyhus, made it clear that was not the case - at least not in their city.
“Not in Seattle!” people called out, claiming that homophobic comments would not have been condoned in 2014.
The point of Biden’s remarks, delivered as the LGBT community and their allies celebrated Pride Weekend, was that the United States has made progress. He said the hypothetical businessman he spoke of “would not be invited back” today.
Biden also spoke about how he supported same-sex marriage when he was vice president, according to the Seattle Times, telling White House officials that the American people were in favor of this, even if leadership was lagging behind on the issue.
This latest misstep comes soon after Biden made tried to rehabilitate his image when it comes to race relations, only to be called out by opponent Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.
"That kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger," Biden said, illustrating the dangers of stereotyping while invoking the image of Trayvon Martin, a black teen who was shot in 2012.
Booker was not satisfied with how Biden made his point.
"This isn’t about a hoodie. It’s about a culture that sees a problem with a kid wearing a hoodie in the first place," he tweeted on Friday. "Our nominee needs to have the language to talk about race in a far more constructive way."

Biden: ‘Starting Over’ from Obamacare with Medicare for All Would Be ‘a Sin’

Posted on 7/9/2019, 8:06:09 AM by davikkm
During an interview broadcast on Monday’s edition of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden expressed opposition to anyone of either party trying to “dismantle” Obamacare, and said that doing so doesn’t make sense and would be “a sin.”
Biden said that Medicare for all can’t exist with the ACA, “and that’s why I’m opposed to any Republican who wants to dismantle it, or any Democrat who wants to dismantle it. The idea that you’re going to come along and take the most significant thing that happened, that any president has tried to do and that got done, and dismantle it makes no sense to me.”

Latest Biden blunder: ‘Poor kids’ are just as bright as ‘white kids’
By Ben Feuerherd August 8, 2019
Gaffe-prone presidential hopeful Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth during an Iowa campaign stop on Thursday when he told a group of predominately Asian and Hispanic voters that “poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids.”
Biden committed the stunning blunder while speaking about education at a town hall with the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, where he’s campaigning and fundraising for the 2020 Democratic primary.
“We should challenge students in these schools and have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it,” Biden said at the event, according to video of his remarks.
“Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids,” he added.
Biden almost immediately went into damage control, quickly adding: “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids, no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”
But President Trump’s campaign quickly seized on the tongue-slip, with his “rapid response director” Andrew Clark tweeting out a video clip of the remark.
“Yikes…have fun mitigating that one,” he tweeted.
Biden walked out of the Democratic primary debates last week red-faced when he accidentally told donors to “go to Joe 30330” when he meant to tell them to “text JOE to 30330″ to donate.
On Monday, the befuddled 76-year-old bungled the locations of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings when expressed sympathy for the “tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before.”

Biden mistakenly says he was VP during 2018 Parkland shooting
BY RACHEL FRAZIN - 08/10/19
Former Vice President Joe Biden said Saturday that he was vice president during a mass shooting last year in Parkland, Fla., even though it occurred more than a year after he had left office.
“Those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president,” Biden told reporters on Saturday, according to Bloomberg News.
He had reportedly been speaking on gun violence, particularly calls to action by people impacted by mass shootings.
The Hill has reached out to the Biden campaign for comment. A campaign official told Bloomberg that the former vice president was thinking of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which occurred during Biden's tenure.
Biden did meet with students of Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after a shooter killed 17 people there.
His Saturday statement was the latest in a series of recent gaffes. He said Thursday that “poor kids” are “just as talented as white kids” before correcting himself and saying “wealthy kids.” He also misstated the locations of recent mass shootings as Houston and Michigan but also soon corrected himself.
On Saturday, Biden also told reporters, according to Bloomberg, that he misspoke when he referred to "poor kids" but added that people understood what he was trying to say.
“I don’t think anybody thinks I meant anything other than what I said I meant,” he said.
President Trump weighed in Saturday, tweeting, "Joe doesn’t have a clue!"
Biden has consistently polled as the front-runner of a crowded field of candidates vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Joe Biden misplaces Kennedy and King assassinations in the 'late '70s'
2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden mistakenly said during a Tuesday speech that the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. happened "in the late '70s."
Comparing present times with how things were when he was young, Biden said, "Just like in my generation, when I got out of school, when Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King had been assassinated in the '70s, the late '70s when I got engaged." Kennedy and King were murdered within months of each other in 1968.
Biden then seemingly reverted back to the correct decade, referencing the cultural trends that roiled the country in the 1960s. He married his first wife, Neilia Hunter, in 1966.
The misstatement is the latest in a series of gaffes from the former vice president, who within the past weeks has said poor kids are "just as bright" as white kids and claimed he was vice president in 2018 during the Parkland mass shooting, among other things.

Somebody has to step in and tell him to drop out of the race, right?
It's basically to the point here lately where he gaffes every time he speaks in public.
-
His main problem NOW is that the dem party wants a different leader.
I look for Kamala Harris of Liz Warren to get the dem nomination.
I may not agree with Kamala on every issue, but I think she's be a decent POTUS.
I am not a Biden fan, but if he's tops in the poles, don't you think he will garner the nomination? Of course a lot can change by July 2020.

Former POTUS won't endorse him so he asks this sort of question - like it helps or something. ::)
I though McCain was a weak candidate. This guy though.

Biden Tells Concerned Voters ‘Don’t Vote for Me’

"I say if they’re concerned, don’t vote for me,” Biden said while speaking to reporters in Keene, New Hampshire.
When a reporter told Biden that voters he talked to were wondering if the former senator from Delaware had lost a step, Biden answered, “What do you think?”
The Democratic frontrunner has committed a number of verbal slip-ups that put him under scrutiny.
During the same visit on Saturday, Biden appeared to believe he was in neighboring Vermont.

"Newt Gingrich took to Twitter Monday, reacting to Joe Biden’s (D) plea that he is “not going nuts” and calling it the “strangest campaign slogan ever.”
Biden reportedly told voters in New Hampshire over the weekend that he is “not going nuts,” despite the mounting gaffes that have become an unfortunate hallmark of his campaign.
“I want to be clear; I’m not going nuts,” told a Granite State audience on Friday after forgetting where he spoke hours before."

Biden’s Eye Fills With Blood During CNN Town Hall, Major Medical Issues

Joe Biden took part in CNN’s town hall on climate change, and viewers were shocked when his left eye noticeably got red and appeared to fill with blood. Biden has kept his medical history under wraps since 2008 when he was diagnosed with a serious condition. Luckily, we have uncovered what his campaign doesn’t want you to know.

================================================================
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s left eye filled with blood while he was onstage Wednesday during a CNN town hall on climate change, apparently from a burst blood vessel. Biden was in the middle of speaking when his eye appeared to fill with blood, and he seemed not to notice.
The incident instantly gained attention on social media.
Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson was one of the first on Twitter to post a tweet on the Biden eye situation. “Uh, hey guys. Joe Biden’s eye filled with blood while onstage at the CNN town hall. This is not a photoshop,” Johnson said.

Joe Biden has a long list of medical issues.
“Biden, 76, has long been plagued by health issues. In 1988, he suffered an aneurysm that burst and required him to undergo emergency surgery. The then-senator was so close to death that a Catholic priest began preparing to administer the sacrament of last rites,” the Washington Examiner reports.
Months later, surgeons clipped a second aneurysm before it burst. Biden then took a seven-month leave from the Senate following the surgery. Describing the operation, he once said, “They literally had to take the top of my head off.”
Jill Biden said in her recently released autobiography, Where the Light Enters, at the time she feared her husband would never be the same. “Our doctor told us there was a 50-50 chance Joe wouldn’t survive surgery,” she wrote. “He also said that it was even more likely that Joe would have permanent brain damage if he survived. And if any part of his brain would be adversely affected, it would be the area that governed speech.”
Doctors removed a benign polyp during a colonoscopy in 1996. In 2003, Biden had his gallbladder removed. He suffers from asthma and allergies and takes a prescription drug to lower his cholesterol. He has also taken medication for an enlarged prostate.
Biden hasn’t disclosed his medical history since 2008 when doctors found he had an irregular heartbeat.
An irregular heartbeat is what doctors call “Atrial-Fibrillation,” or just AFib for short. This condition complicated his issues with aneurysms. AFib puts patients at an increased risk for stroke because blood may not be properly pumped out of the heart, which may cause it to pool and form a clot.
This clot can then travel to the brain and block the flow of blood to part of the brain which can result in a stroke. So, medications you would take to control AFib can lead to weakening blood vessels. For Biden’s physicians, it must be a balancing act with his history of brain aneurysms.
His serious brain issues with his history of aneurysms are much more troubling than AFib. A broken blood vessel in the eye, also known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage, can be caused by several things, including high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, blood thinners, or even excessive straining.
As a Registered Nurse, who specialized in cardiothoracic surgery, I believe there is no way Joe’s doctors would allow him to have high blood pressure. That would cause aneurysms to burst and would be horrible for his AFib. We know he doesn’t have a bleeding disorder. A patient with a history of aneurysms would never be on blood thinners.
So, unless Joe “excessively strained” during the CNN town hall, that leaves the brain issues and whatever medication he is on for AFib, either verapamil or digoxin which could have contributed to the subconjunctival hemorrhage.
Americans sounded off on social media in high numbers wondering what happened to Uncle Joe.
“Biden’s 2020 campaign is elder abuse. His eye exploded on stage tonight and his campaign is just like ‘everything is fine, this is normal.’ He could have rode off into the sunset as the VP of a sh*tty neolib president but instead decided to run for president and lose it all,” tweeted “Carlo.”

“One would think that having a leading candidate spontaneously bleed out of an eye socket on live television would grab the media’s attention. One would think incorrectly, as it turns out, even when that presidential candidate is the 76-year-old frontrunner with a history of aneurysms,” HotAir’s Ed Morrisey said.

Amazing, almost unbelievable silence from the media. If Trump had a band aid on his forehead the media would report and investigate it.
I wish Biden good health - that was just really creep, though.
On Thursday, we noted CNN's New Day skipped over Joe Biden's bloody eyeball during the seven-hour
CNN Town Hall on climate change, despite it being an all-day Drudge Report item. But then something
happened that we didn't expect: CNN never reported it. Neither did MSNBC. Neither did ABC, CBS, NBC,
or PBS. Even The New York Times and The Washington Post skipped it. Fox News covered it, but not obsessively.
The Bloody Eye wasn't Earth-shattering news. But some wondered if it suggested a health problem for Biden.
It wasn't Hillary Clinton collapsing in the September 11 "heat." But are these media giants that defensive?
Deborah Norville and her show Inside Edition reported it, in a non-sensational way, and with a medical expert
saying it was absolutely no big deal. It was a little "subconjunctival hemorrhage," which can suggest high blood
pressure, but it usually goes away "all by itself."

Joe Biden's Teeth Appear to Fall Out at Democratic Debate
Breitbart ^ | 12 Sep 2019
Posted on 9/13/2019, 5:36:48 AM by Helicondelta
Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) appeared to struggle to keep his teeth securely in his mouth during the third Democrat debate in Houston, Texas, Thursday evening. ABC’s David Muir asked the Democrat frontrunner about a measure that aimed to expand background checks failing on the Senate floor following the Sandy Hook massacre.
“If you couldn’t get it done after Sandy Hook, why should voters give you another chance?” Muir asked.
Biden initially struggled to answer the question, slurring his response while adjusting his teeth in his mouth.
“Because I got it done before,” Biden sputtered.

Gabbard basically wrecked Kamala's campaign in the last debate they shared. Gabbard knew exactly where to hit her and Kamala was absolutely shell shocked as a result.
The far left progressive crowd will say the DNC is up to their same old malicious tricks again because they fear that Gabbard would be gunning for Elizabeth Warren next and could seriously damage her as well.
I really cannot really disagree with any of that and if Tom Steyer and a couple others were on stage, then certainly Tulsi should have been as well.
The DNC really want nothing to do with the Tulsi Gabbards and the Mike Gravels of their party who do not tow the party line and will be up there lobbing grenades at the other candidates. As soon as they can get them out of the picture without major backlash, they tend to do so.

Biden gaffes, stumbles and fitness for office under fire in new Trump campaign video

A new video from President Trump’s reelection campaign takes a big swipe at former Vice President Joe Biden's fitness for office, spotlighting clips of his recent gaffes and other verbal fumbles coupled with copious clips of pundits questioning his readiness.
The web video, tweeted Tuesday morning by campaign manager Brad Parscale and shared first with Fox News, stitches together everything from his recent debate-stage musing about "record players" to his statement that "poor kids" are just as talented as "white kids." Interspersed with the clips of the 76-year-old Biden's comments are those of pundits wondering about his stumbles, shakiness, mental and physical stamina, whether he’s “lost a step” and whether he’s “equipped for a very grueling campaign.”

'It happens a lot': Biden confuses Ohio and Iowa at campaign event
by Naomi Lim
November 03, 2019
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Joe Biden mistakenly said he was in Ohio rather than Iowa, the latest error by the former vice president as he tries to lock down support in the first state to vote in the 2020 Democratic nominating season.
“How many unsafe bridges do you still have here in the state of Ohio? I mean Iowa,” Biden said in Cedar Rapids on Saturday in response to a question about infrastructure. “I was just in Ohio. Because they have more."
This is a pattern with Joe Biden.
While in IOWA, Biden says he is in “OHIO.” pic.twitter.com/xqZoQwWwtY
— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) November 2, 2019
The misstep didn't go unnoticed by attendees at the fundraiser for Democratic candidates, hosted by first-term Iowa Democratic Rep. Abby Finkenauer.
"At the fish fry in Cedar Rapids, Biden says he’s in Ohio instead of Iowa. Quickly corrects himself but I spotted some in the crowd shaking their heads,” the Wall Street Journal's Tarini Parti tweeted.

Kathleen Tupker, 39, shrugged off the mistake, saying "it happens a lot."
"He corrected himself right away," said the stay-at-home mother from Marion, Iowa. "There were a few giggles from the audience. It wasn’t super pronounced."
In August, Biden, 76, confused New Hampshire for Vermont during a campaign stop in Keene.
His fumble followed a disruption at the opening of a new field office in Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday morning.
"The press wants very much, and some of the opponents, want to very much categorize views in terms of whether you're thinking big. And if you're criticize something that you think is outlandish, you must be Republican," the 36-year Delaware senator said before getting interrupted by protesters. "The vision I have for this country, there is nothing small about it. It is like going to the moon."
Biden supporters tried to drown out the Sunrise Movement demonstrators, who bore a sign saying, “Biden bought out by big oil,” but the two-term vice president told them to let the protesters speak.
"This is not Republican time," he said.
The demonstrators, however, walked out chanting, "Which side are you on?" before Biden could address his concerns.
“Folks, if you noticed, they left before I had could answer the question, number one. Number two, this is what is going on that's wrong with our party right now: that everything is taken in context that are not accurate," he said.

Also, since every dem is apparently anti-gun they should have at least a working knowledge and preferably be expert if they expect to take an unpopular stance.

If he's correcting half of what he says, he needs new speech writers. If it is a situation that requires he talks extemporaneously and he frequently misspeaks, it is worrisome. I've made it pretty clear that I think three of the candidates are too old to serve as President. I'm hoping one of the younger contenders gains traction with the voters. Incidentally, I also believe Trump is too old now and he will be even older in 2020.

Biden, in Democratic debate, says you have to 'keep punching' to address domestic violence
Maureen Groppe
USA TODAY
Vice President Joe Biden was asked Wednesday night how he would address sexual violence.
His response during the Democratic debate drew laughter from the crowd.
The former vice president was on firm ground when he began his answer by reminding the audience that he authored legislation to address violence against women.
He then argued that “No man has a right to raise a hand to a woman in anger other than in self-defense, and that rarely ever occurs.”
“So we have to just change the culture, period,” Biden said. “And keep punching at it and punching it and punching at it.”
Biden was one of 10 Democratic candidates to take the stage in Atlanta to debate a range of topics that included, health care, violence, impeachment and defeating President Trump.

He then argued that “No man has a right to raise a hand to a woman in anger other than in self-defense, and that rarely ever occurs.”
“So we have to just change the culture, period,” Biden said. “And keep punching at it and punching it and punching at it.”
Biden was one of 10 Democratic candidates to take the stage in Atlanta to debate a range of topics that included, health care, violence, impeachment and defeating President Trump.

Biden attacks voter at campaign event: 'You're a damn liar'
by Joseph Simonson
& Emily Larsen
December 05, 2019
NEW HAMPTON, IOWA — Joe Biden lashed out at a voter during a town hall event in Iowa, marking one of the tensest moments the former vice president has faced on the Democratic campaign trail so far.
"You're a damn liar, man. That's not true. And no one has ever said that, no one has heard that," Biden told the 86-year-old man after being asked questions about his role in the Burisma Holdings affair and his age on Thursday afternoon.
Biden's response prompted the man to push back, saying he heard allegations of impropriety regarding his role in the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor that was investigating the board of a company Biden's son, Hunter, was serving on.
"You see it on the TV? I know you do. By the way, that's why I'm not sedentary ... The reason I'm running is that I've been around a long time, and I know more than most people know, and I can get things done. That's why I'm running," Biden said. "And if you wanna check out my shape on, let's do push-ups together men, let's run, let's do whatever you want to do."
Chief Political Correspondent Byron York on the expanded Washington Examiner magazine
Biden's response earned applause from the audience, he then proceeded to deny any allegations that he acted improperly during his time in the White House.
The voter then interjected again, saying he never accused the former vice president of doing anything wrong, which only agitated the voter further.
"You said I set up my son to work in an oil company, isn't that what you said? Get your word straight, Jack," Biden said.

‘I’m Sorry, Excuse Me’: Biden Off by 40 Years, Mistakes 1976 for 2014
Calls Iowa voter 'damn liar,' challenges him to push-up contest
Paul Crookston - DECEMBER 5, 2019
Former vice president Joe Biden on Thursday could not remember during which century the Obama administration took place, and also called a voter a "damn liar."
Speaking in New Hampton, Iowa, at a stop on his "No Malarkey" tour, Biden worked to recall the year the Obama administration signed an executive order, ending up with the year 1976.
"There's the Dreamers program, there's also a program that said we're not going to separate families, we're going to allow families to stay together while they go through the process, and the Court said you can't … We did that in 1976," he said.
"And, I mean—I'm sorry, excuse me," he added. "Backing up here—2014."

I guess it's possible he misspoke given how he is often unable to put more than a few complete coherent sentences together.
“To be clear: Any assertion VP Biden said a word about the gentleman’s appearance is making this something it is not,” Biden’s senior adviser Symone Sanders wrote on Twitter Thursday as users tweeted the hashtag #lookfat. “In the latter part of the exchange, the VP began to say ‘Look, facts’ then said ‘here’s the deal.’ If you’ve been to a Biden event, you’ve heard this before.”

Biden deserves brickbats for earlier criticism of Texas gun law, says CCRKBA
Former Vice President Joe Biden deserves every brickbat being thrown in his direction in the aftermath of Sunday’s church shooting incident in Texas for declaring in September that the state’s new law allowing guns in churches is “irrational,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
But Biden should not be alone in the hot seat, said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb.
“The deafening silence from Biden’s fellow Democrats still in the presidential race is equally telling,” Gottlieb observed. “Not one of them has stepped forward to offer even faint praise for the courage of Jack Wilson, who used his legally-carried pistol to stop the shotgun-wielding killer from wreaking more havoc at the West Freeway Church of Christ.
“The gun control crowd has been predictably silent,” he continued, “because the use of firearms by private citizens in defense of themselves and others—especially a large crowd of worshippers in a church—just doesn’t fit the extremist gun control narrative.”
Sunday’s tragic incident was ended in six seconds after the gunman, identified as a man with a criminal record in at least three states, fatally shot two members of the church congregation. Wilson’s quick action and accuracy prevented further carnage.
“Within seconds,” Gottlieb noted, “video of the tragic incident revealed at least seven more church members with drawn guns carefully closing in on the downed killer. Their responsible use of firearms to defend their fellow congregants is exactly why Texas enacted its new laws. At the very least, Biden should apologize for his earlier criticism.
“Biden’s trash talk in September symbolizes everything wrong with his party’s increasing hostility toward law-abiding gun owners and the Second Amendment,” he said. “This year, we’ve already heard proposals for mandatory buybacks, registration and licensing, gun bans and Beto O’Rourke’s outright threat of confiscation. If anyone has been irrational, it’s Biden and his fellow Democrats for their demagoguery and anti-rights hysteria.
“What happened Sunday in Texas,” Gottlieb concluded, “reminded us all of individual heroism, and that actions always speak louder than words, and that brave people act while politicians pontificate.”

With American Lives at Stake, Joe Biden Proves He's Wrong on Foreign Policy -- Again
Townhall.com ^ | January 3, 2020 | Katie Pavlich
Posted on 1/3/2020, 1:09:39 PM by Kaslin
Democrat 2020 hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden berated President Trump for giving the order to take out Iranian terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani in a Baghdad drone strike Thursday night.
"No American will mourn Qassem Soleimani's passing. He deserved to be brought to justice for his crimes against American troops and thousands of innocents throughout the region. He supported terror and sowed chaos. None of that negates the fact that this a hugely escalator move in an already dangerous region. The Administration's statement says that its goal is to deter future attacks by Iran, but this action almost certainly will have the opposite effect. President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox, and he owes the American people an explanation of the strategy and plan to seep safe our troops and embassy personnel, our people and our interests, both here at home and abroad, and our partners throughout the region and beyond," Biden released in a statement.
"I'm not privy to the intelligence and much remains unknown, but Iran will surely respond. We could be on the brink of a major conflict across the Middle East. I hope the Administration has thought through the second and third order consequences of the path they have chosen. But I fear this Administration has not demonstrated at any turn the discipline or long-term vision necessary and the stakes could not be higher," he continued.
For years the Trump administration has clearly and succinctly laid out it's policy toward Iran: maximum pressure through sanctions and military force when necessary to protect Americans and U.S. interests. It's working and has reversed the failed Obama/Biden appeasement polices toward the terrorist regime.
Soleimani was planning imminent attacks in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon against American targets. President Trump took decisive action to prevent him from doing so, saving lives.
Biden's reaction is typical and wrong. After all, he's blown pretty much every foreign policy call he's ever made over the past four decades. He advised President Obama not to go after Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
Over to you, Secretary Gates.

Biden Says Only Felons Should Be Deported And He Doesn’t ‘Count Drunk Driving as a Felony’
By TOBIAS HOONHOUT
January 21, 2020
Former vice president Joe Biden said Monday that “I don’t count drunk driving as a felony” during a Vice News panel on minority issues, despite falsely claiming for years that his first wife and daughter were killed by a drunk driver.
Biden’s comments came after he was asked “what exact changes would you bring to ICE as an agency,” and he responded by saying he would fire an agent who tried to deport an undocumented immigrant not charged with a felony.
“You change the culture by saying you are going to get fired. You are fired if, in fact, you do that. You only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that’s committed, and I don’t count drunk driving as a felony,” Biden said.
Following a 1972 tragedy in which Biden’s first wife and baby daughter were killed when their car was struck by a tractor-trailer, Biden stated that the other driver was drinking at the time of the accident, despite the driver never being charged with drunk driving.
In a 2001 speech at the University of Delaware, he told the crowd that an “it was an errant driver who stopped to drink instead of drive and hit—a tractor-trailer—hit my children and my wife and killed them.”
“A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly — and I never pursued it — drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly and killed my daughter instantly and hospitalized my two sons,” Biden said while campaigning in 2007.
After CBS aired Biden’s unfounded criticisms in 2008, the man’s daughter told a reporter from the News Journal in Delaware that there no evidence to the accusations.
The family feels these statements are both hurtful and untrue and we didn’t know where they originated from,” Pamela Hamill said at the time. She told Politico last January that, following a 2009 report from CBS on how her father Curtis Dunn “was haunted and was tormented” by the crash, Biden called to apologize.
He apologized for hurting my family in any way,” she said. “So we accepted that — and kind of end of story from there.”

Joe Biden Says He Was Arrested In South Africa Decades Ago
By Sarah Ruiz-Grossman
02/21/2020
Former Vice President Joe Biden has begun telling a story on the campaign trail of his being arrested in South Africa decades ago. The only problem is, he doesn’t appear to have mentioned this incident publicly before this month.
The Democratic presidential candidate told some version of the following story at one campaign event in South Carolina and two in Nevada over the past two weeks, per The New York Times: On a visit to South Africa decades ago, he claims he tried to visit Nelson Mandela in prison and got arrested.
“This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid,” Biden can be heard saying in a video from the South Carolina event on Feb. 11. “I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on [Robben] Island.”
Former civil rights activist and Georgia congressman Andrew Young was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the late 1970s when Biden visited South Africa. Young told the Times that he had traveled with then-Sen. Biden to South Africa but had never been arrested there — “and I don’t think he was, either,” Young said.
A New York Times search of news media did not find any mention of Biden being arrested in South Africa. He did not note it in his 2007 memoir, in which he discussed a ’70s trip to South Africa, according to the Times.
Biden’s team did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
In a 2013 visit to the South African Embassy in Washington after Mandela’s death, Biden talked about a 1977 visit to the country. He reportedly said he had met with anti-apartheid leaders there but did not get to speak with Mandela, who was serving what would ultimately be 27 years in prison. Biden did not appear to have mentioned being arrested.
The former vice president is trailing behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in early national polls of the Democratic primary, just one day before the Nevada caucuses and within weeks of the South Carolina primary and Super Tuesday.

WATCH: Biden Can’t Remember What Son’s Job Was, Thinks He Was U.S. Attorney General
Daily Wire ^
Posted on 2/22/2020, 8:14:10 AM by TigerClaws
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden could not remember what his late son Beau Biden did for work during a CNN town hall event on Thursday night, falsely claiming that his son was “Attorney General of the United States.”
“Never direct the Justice Department as to who they should or should not indict and under what circumstances they should or should not,” Biden told the audience at the event. “That is an independent judgement to be made.”
“My son, the one who, my deceased son, was the Attorney General of the United States,” Biden falsely claimed, adding, “and before that, he was a federal prosecutor in one of the largest offices in the country in Philadelphia.”
“And I’ll tell you what, he wouldn’t even talk to me about anything he was doing – his father – and he shouldn’t have, and I didn’t have any control over either one of those things,” Biden added.
Biden’s son was not the Attorney General of the United States; he was the Attorney General of Delaware.

JOE BIDEN CLAIMS TO HAVE WORKED ON 2016 PARIS CLIMATE DEAL WITH CHINESE LEADER WHO DIED IN 1997
Newsweek ^ | 2/25/2020 | David Brennan
Posted on 2/25/2020, 6:15:37 PM by RightGeek
Presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to make another misstep during a campaign event in South Carolina on Monday, claiming to have worked on the Paris Climate Accord with former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, who died 19 years before the agreement was signed.
The former vice president spoke at the College of Charleston on Monday as the Democratic presidential hopefuls prepare for Saturday's South Carolina primary, which the Biden campaign is hoping will supercharge his as-yet sluggish charge for the party nomination.
Biden touted his two terms as vice president under President Barack Obama, arguing his experience made him the right person to take on and defeat President Donald Trump.
The former vice president cited his work on the Paris Climate Accord—from which Trump withdrew early in his presidency—as evidence of his ability to work with world leaders and gain their support for multilateral projects.
But Biden, who has made multiple blunders while on the campaign trail, undermined his point by apparently confusing Chinese leaders, claiming to have worked on the deal with former premier Deng Xiaoping who died in 1997.
"One of the things I'm proudest of is getting passed, getting moved, getting in control of the Paris Climate Accord," Biden told the crowd. "I'm the guy who came back after meeting with Deng Xiaoping and making the case that I believe China will join if we put pressure on them. We got almost 200 nations to join."

Biden says he worked on 2016 climate accord with leader who died in 1997
By Ebony Bowden
February 25, 2020 | 3:25pm | Updated
www.nypost.com
WASHINGTON — Gaffe-prone former veep Joe Biden put his foot in it again on Monday — claiming to have worked on the 2016 Paris Climate Accord with a Chinese leader who died 19 years earlier.
During a campaign stop in South Carolina ahead of the state’s primary on Saturday, Biden told a crowd his experience on the world stage as vice president under Barack Obama made him the right person to defeat President Trump.
“One of the things I’m proudest of is getting passed, getting moved, getting in control of the Paris Climate Accord,” Biden told the crowd in a video circulating on Twitter.
“I’m the guy who came back after meeting with Deng Xiaoping and making the case that I believe China will join if we put pressure on them. We got almost 200 nations to join,” he said.
Only problem is Deng Xiaoping, China’s former paramount leader, died in 1997.
It’s unclear if Biden was referring to China’s current President Xi Jinping, who took power in 2013 and oversaw China’s involvement in the 2016 climate deal.
The presidential wannabe has been plagued by constant word salad on the campaign trail — on Monday night telling South Carolina voters that he was running for the United States Senate.
The 77-year-old, whose White House bid is now on life support, is also under fire for claims he was arrested while trying to see Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
Over the past two weeks, Biden has repeatedly claimed he was cuffed in Soweto with the US ambassador for trying to visit Mandela at Robben Island Prison in the 1970s.
But Andrew Young, the former US ambassador to the UN who traveled with Biden to South Africa, denied that ever happened.
“No, I was never arrested and I don’t think he was, either,” Young, 85, told the New York Times.
Biden is pinning his presidential hopes on black voters in the Palmetto State, long considered his campaign’s firewall, after disastrous showings in Iowa and New Hampshire.
But new polls show Biden’s huge lead has vanished and he is locked in a tight race with Vermont socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders.
-
If Biden gives a true fuck about beating Trump he'll get the hell out and back Bloomberg. Them both staying in along with Gayor Pete and Amy Resting Bitch Face Klobuchar is all but going to hand Bernard the nomination. Which is what I want.

THE SLATEST
Biden Camp Backs Away From His Story About Being Arrested Trying to Meet Mandela
The former vice president’s version of history gets shaky.
By JIM NEWELL
In the final minutes of Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Bernie Sanders mentioned former South African President Nelson Mandela. He was citing an inspirational quote from the dissident and statesman, but it also summoned the specter of the peculiar stories his rival Joe Biden has been telling about Mandela recently.
During an event in Columbia, South Carolina, on Feb. 11, Biden offered a reminiscence about the depth of his personal history with Mandela. “This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid,” Biden said. “I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our U.N. ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see him on [Robben] Island.”
He would mention his being arrested trying to see Mandela “twice more in the next seven days,” according to the New York Times. And in one mention, he offered a coda to the story: “After he got free and became president, he came to Washington and came to my office,” Biden said in Las Vegas on Feb. 16. “He threw his arms around me and said, ‘I want to say thank you.’ I said, ‘What are you thanking me for, Mr. President?’ He said: ‘You tried to see me. You got arrested trying to see me.’ ”
Both the Times and the Washington Post, in separate looks, have found no evidence to support this story, and no instances of Biden mentioning it until recently. The U.N. ambassador at the time, Andrew Young, has said that he was never arrested in South Africa, and he didn’t think Biden was, either.
The Biden campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment from the Post, which described each claimed incident as “not remotely credible”—the “streets of Soweto,” are hundreds of miles from Robben Island, which is an island—or to five requests for comment from the Times. In other words, for four days after the Times story first went up, neither Biden nor Biden’s campaign offered a word (on the record) about the South Carolina front-runner’s fascinating, previously untold story for which there is no apparent supporting evidence.

It evoked a different piece of late 20th century history: the 1988 presidential campaign, when Biden’s bid for the nomination unraveled after he delivered passages from an autobiographical speech by the British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock as if they were his own words. Then, Biden had talked about “my ancestors, who worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania,” although his campaign was unable to come up with the names of any of his relatives who’d been coal miners.
In Tuesday’s post-debate spin room, an answer to the Mandela questions finally came. As Biden campaign staff and surrogates arrived there, the first question a reporter asked them was to clarify the story.
“He took a trip with a CODEL [congressional delegation] in the ’70s, he was separated from the CBC [Congressional Black Caucus] members that he was traveling with at the airport when he landed,” Biden’s deputy campaign manager and communications director, Kate Bedingfield, told the reporter. “When making that remark, he was talking about his long record of fighting apartheid.”
So he wasn’t arrested?
“He was separated from the group he was with at the airport,” she said.
This explanation at least aligns with something that Biden has referenced in the past. In a statement his office released when Mandela died in 2013, he mentioned a trip he made as a 34-year-old senator, in the 1970s.
“When I exited the plane, I was directed to one side of the tarmac, while the African American congressmen traveling with me were sent to the other side,” the statement read. “I refused to break off, and the officials finally relented.”
So he was not arrested “on the streets of Soweto” with the U.N. ambassador during an effort to see Nelson Mandela in prison. He was, however, briefly separated from his black colleagues by the apartheid regime on the tarmac. There’s a wide gulf between those stories, and we know that (at least) one of them—the one he’s told most recently, while campaigning for president—is flatly untrue.

So he was not arrested “on the streets of Soweto” with the U.N. ambassador during an effort to see Nelson Mandela in prison. He was, however, briefly separated from his black colleagues by the apartheid regime on the tarmac. There’s a wide gulf between those stories, and we know that (at least) one of them—the one he’s told most recently, while campaigning for president—is flatly untrue.
Lying, dog-faced pony soldier.

Biden’s hands-off ‘naked woman’ scenario at campaign event raises eyebrows
Bizpac Review ^ | February 28, 2020 | Tom Tillison
Posted on 2/28/2020, 8:32:55 PM by kevcol
Speaking at a campaign event in South Carolina on Tuesday, Biden was talking about the Violence Against Women Act, which he drafted as a U.S. senator, when he offered an ill-advised scenario of a woman walking naked to say that “no man has a right to touch her.”
“No man has a right to lay a hand on a woman for any reason other than self-defense,” Biden said. “If someone in this room got up, took off all their clothes, and walked out the door, no man has a right to touch her.”

Biden Forgets What Show He's On After Saying He'd Make Trump Look Sleepy in Debates
Bronson Stocking |Posted: Mar 01, 2020
Immediately after telling Fox News's Chris Wallace on Sunday that he would make Donald Trump look sleepy in the presidential debates, Joe Biden forgot what national television show he was on.
"I can hardly wait to debate him on stage. I want people to see me standing next to him and him standing next to me. We'll see who's sleepy," Biden said sleepily.
"Mr. Vice President," Wallace said, "thank you. Thanks for your time. Please come back in less than 13 years sir," referencing the amount of time since Biden last appeared on the show.
"Alright, Chuck. Thank you very much," a confused Biden said.
"Uh, it's Chris but anyway," Wallace corrected the candidate.
A startled Biden interjected, "I mean Chris. I just did Chris. No. No. I just did Chuck. I tell you what man. These are back to back. Anyway. I don't know how you do it early in the morning, too."
Biden was probably trying to say he just did Chuck Todd's NBC show, but who knows. The 77-year-old seems to be having more trouble than usual stringing a sentence together.

While campaigning in South Carolina, which he did for a long time, Biden repeatedly told people he was running for the Senate. He also said he was looking forward to appointing the first African American female senator, an impossibility both in terms of a president being able to appoint a senator and the fact that the first African American senator was elected in 1992. He then confused South Carolina with North Carolina.
Now that Pete Buttigieg is expected to leave the race, Biden may emerge from Super Tuesday as the moderate alternative to socialist Bernie Sanders. The Democrats are screwed.

Joe Biden admits he was not arrested during trip to South Africa in 1970s
By Yaron Steinbuch February 28, 2020
Joe Biden on Friday walked back his claim that he was arrested in South Africa in the 1970s during a trip to visit anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, according to a report.
The former vice president has repeatedly claimed on the campaign trail that he was arrested during the trip, using the narrative as part of his efforts to win the support of African Americans before the South Carolina primary.
“When I said arrested, I meant I was not able to, I was not able to move. Cops, Afrikaaners, were not letting me go with them, made me stay where I was,” Biden said in a Friday interview on CNN.
“I guess I wasn’t arrested, I was stopped. I was not able to move where I wanted to go,” he said about his trip, when he traveled with members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Biden said he was separated from the group at the airport.
“They had me get off a plane — the Afrikaaners got on in the short pants and their guns. Led me off first and moved me in a direction totally different,” he told CNN.
“I turned around and everybody, the entire black delegation, was going another way. I said, ‘I’m not going to go in that door that says ‘White only.’ I’m going with them.’ They said, ‘You’re not, you can’t move, you can’t go with them.’ And they kept me there until finally I decided that it was clear I wasn’t going to move,” Biden added.
Biden says he worked on 2016 climate accord with leader who died in 1997
“And so what they finally did, they said OK, they’re not going to make the congressional delegation go through the black door, they’re not going to make me go through the white door,” he said.
During his launch party in Columbia, South Carolina, this month, Biden said: “I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN ambassador on the streets of Soweto trying to get to see (Mandela) on (Robben) Island.”
He repeated the claim at least two other times, including when recounting a story about trying to get his future wife, Jill, to marry him.
During a Feb. 16 event in Nevada, Biden said that as president of South Africa, Mandela visited him in Washington.
“He threw his arms around me and said, ‘I want to say thank you.’ I said, ‘What are you thanking me for, Mr. President?’ He said, ‘You tried to see me. You got arrested trying to see me,'” Biden said.

'You know, the thing': Biden botches Declaration of Independence quote during campaign stop
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/02/20 | Dominick Mastrangelo
Posted on 3/3/2020, 6:46:52 AM by Libloather
2020 Democrat Joe Biden stumbled over his words as he attempted to recite the Declaration of Independence ahead of Super Tuesday.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” the former vice president said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by - you know, you know, the thing.”
During the stop, he also accidentally referred to Super Tuesday as "Super Thursday" before correcting himself.

Biden Claims He ‘Became A Professor’ After He Left the Obama Admin, Except He Never Taught A Class
February 28, 2020 by Nick Arama
Biden Claims He 'Became A Professor’ After He Left the Obama Admin, Except He Never Taught A Class

Democrats really have locked themselves into a box in their race to find a presidential nominee.
Their two top guys, one is a radical socialist, the other can’t seem to keep anything he says straight.
This is Joe Biden’s third time trying for the brass ring.
In 1988 he had to drop out after he got caught lying about his background and plagiarizing a speech. In 2008, he dropped out early on when he couldn’t win a primary.
He still hasn’t won a primary but may be about to on Saturday.
But now questions are being raised about his claim that after he left the White House, he “became a teacher, I became a professor.”
You can hear him saying it hear on Wednesday in South Carolina at about :28 and actually he doesn’t even say it right, he says “when he left the U.S. Senate,” he’s trying to say that he did that rather than taking a Wall Street job.
Except that isn’t quite true.
While he did become a “professor,” being named the “Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor” for the University of Pennsylvania, he never actually taught anything nor did they expect him to teach anything, according to the Daily Caller.
“He will not be teaching classes,” Biden spokesperson Kate Bedingfield said in 2017.
One article at The Daily Pennsylvanian featured the headline “No One Is Really Sure What Joe Biden Will Be Doing At Penn.”
UPenn announced Biden’s hiring on February 7, just a week after he left office, and by the end of February Biden’s role was “still uncertain” and “being ironed out,” University spokesperson Stephen MacCarthy told the Pennsylvanian.
What does seem to be true is that he was paid a ton of money for what looks like about four speeches a year each in 2017 and then in 2018. For that, he got $776, 527.
According to Vice Provost Anita Allen he was hired to “lead the Washington D.C. Penn Biden Center” which didn’t open until 2018 and he took a leave of absence to run for president in April 2019.
So basically what it appears to be is them buying Biden for prestige and connections, to have that connection. And what a deal for him, to get more than three quarters of a million for basically showing his face a few times a year. That might pay more than a Wall Street job, certainly for the time put in. A Wall Street job would have required much more effort.

I can't even begin to imagine the 24/7 nonstop coverage the MSM would be airing of Biden's blunders if it were Trump doing it
-
Biden was a forceful speaker once upon a time. He's just old...beyond his years even...just really, really old and likely suffering some mental falloff.

I don’t know, I think Bernie wouldn’t get rattled or melt down the way all other candidates would. He probably holds up the best to Trump, Bernie that is.

BIDEN, ON VIDEO, LASHES OUT AT DETROIT AUTOWORKER IN PROFANITY-LACED GUN DISPUTE
Geller Report ^ | 3/10/20 | Tyler Olsen, Allie Raffa
Posted on 3/10/2020, 2:40:01 PM by Impala64ssa
Biden is emblematic of the Democrat party’s crack-up. They are self-destructing.
Former Vice President Joe Biden got into a heated and profanity-laced argument with an autoworker Tuesday while touring a factory in Detroit, after the individual accused the Democratic presidential candidate of trying to take away his Second Amendment rights.
“You’re full of sh– … I support the Second Amendment,” Biden shot back, stressing he’s not going to take guns away.
Natasha Korecki
✔@natashakorecki
The worker then told Biden, “You’re working for me, man,” and told Biden that he saw an online video supporting his claim that Biden is hostile to the Second Amendment.
Biden, pointing at the individual as they were mere inches apart in the middle of a crowd, said he’s not working for him and told him not to be “such a horse’s a–.”
Biden, at one point mistakenly referring to “AR-14’s,” went on to press the individual to acknowledge that machine guns are illegal. Biden appeared to then misspeak in saying AR-15’s are illegal, before questioning why anyone needs “100 rounds.”
The dispute, caught on camera, happened at the Fiat-Chrysler plant as Biden stumped for votes in Michigan, the biggest prize among the states voting Tuesday with 125 delegates at stake.
Biden earlier told the workers, “You made me a hero when I was getting a lot of heat for the bailout, the rescue … You guys saved management. Management didn’t save you.” He also called the autoworkers, “The best damn workers in the world.”
Biden was previously criticized for apparently offering former presidential contender Beto O’Rourke a gun control role in his administration in a pre-Super Tuesday rally. O’Rourke said last year on the campaign trail, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.”
“I want to make something clear – I’m gonna guarantee you, this is not the last you’re seeing of this guy – you’re gonna take care of the gun problem with me, you’re gonna be the one who leads this effort,” Biden said of O’Rourke. “I’m counting on you, I’m counting on you, we need you badly.”

There's more to that story and it's hilarious. Dude ripped Biden a new ass and Biden threatened to slap him in the face. I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: Most articles fail to mention the threat by the demoncratic partys choice to represent them in the upcoming presidential election. I guess it's acceptable for a presidential candidate to threaten a member of the public for disagreeing with him and voicing his opinion?

Democratic presidential candidate and former VP Joe Biden has been accused of being out of the limelight as the coronavirus pandemic shuts down the country.
So his handlers said set ’em up, Joe, and scheduled a whirlwind of video appearances. So far, they’ve spotlighted his famous knack for stumbling into word salad.
Fresh off an online appearance in which he waved off his first point about the pandemic as his teleprompter allegedly malfunctioned, Biden came to The View seeking redemption. He appeared via satellite to reveal how he would handle the current coronavirus crisis.

Biden Campaign Hires Interpreter To Translate His Speeches Into English

U.S.—The Biden campaign is facing a real communication problem as Joe Biden's speeches are growing more and more nonsensical. In order to overcome this challenge, aides have hired an interpreter to translate everything he says into normal, human-style English.
"My fellow Americans, pickle hamster meatloaf. The thing. Potato!" Biden began.
"My fellow Americans, thank you for being here this evening," the interpreter translated.
Biden continued: "This pandemic has cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. Millions of people. Millions of jobs." He then nodded at the translator to interpret that into something resembling plain English.
"Uh... the, uh, pandemic has cost us tens of millions of jobs, and 85,000 have tragically lost their lives," she interpreted frantically.

Biden Campaign Hires Interpreter To Translate His Speeches Into English

U.S.—The Biden campaign is facing a real communication problem as Joe Biden's speeches are growing more and more nonsensical. In order to overcome this challenge, aides have hired an interpreter to translate everything he says into normal, human-style English.
"My fellow Americans, pickle hamster meatloaf. The thing. Potato!" Biden began.
"My fellow Americans, thank you for being here this evening," the interpreter translated.
Biden continued: "This pandemic has cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. Millions of people. Millions of jobs." He then nodded at the translator to interpret that into something resembling plain English.
"Uh... the, uh, pandemic has cost us tens of millions of jobs, and 85,000 have tragically lost their lives," she interpreted frantically.
But she struggled to keep up as his speech got less and less coherent.
"Peanut butter M&Ms and my fellow U.S. Americans in the Iraq. Platypus!" was translated as "We must make sure Donald Trump does not continue to rob America of its future," while "Farley farley farley farley farley hufaaaaaaaar!" was translated as "I am the best choice to beat Donald Trump."

Rather than argue this, let me remind you all that I have never thought Biden was a good choice of candidates for the office of President of the United States. In fact, I believe I've maintained all along that he is too old (and quite possibly feeble minded) to fill the position of President as was Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But this doesn't mean I will be voting for Trump. Because nothing and no one is going to make me believe in snake oil or drink the Kool Aid.

Biden struggles badly during "virtual roundtable" as gaffes continue to pile up
(https://d12gryx1lo44v2.cloudfront.net/articles/c3af12b8-544f-4933-914f-ac95c4bf21dd.jpg)
Presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden held a "virtual roundtable" Thursday afternoon where he again struggled badly to communicate as his verbal gaffes continue to pile up.
The roundtable featured Biden along with Michigan Gov. Whitmer, New Jersey Gov. Murphy, and Connecticut Gov. Lamont, discussing the coronavirus pandemic.
Like other recent Biden virtual events, Thursday's was marked by technical hiccups like visual and audio glitches, along with the former vice president getting his tongue tied in knots:

Biden said at the beginning of the event:
"We're ... in the middle of a pandemic that has cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. Millions of people. Millions of jobs. You know, and we're in a position where, you know we just got new unemployment insurance, this morning, uh, numbers — 36.5 million claims since this crisis began."
President Trump continues to poke at Biden over his gaffes and suggest that he is mentally unfit for office. On Thursday the president said, "Joe has absolutely no idea what's happening," and, "He doesn't know he's alive."

I think they sort of got forced into it.
You had Bernie really starting to heat up by taking the first 3 states(Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada) and was a serious threat to take the nomination, especially with a crowded field. Problem is, the DNC want nothing to do with that guy.
I think they honestly would have preferred Warren or Buttigieg to Joe but South Carolina was next on the schedule and Biden just dominated that state. At this point the die is sort of cast and some phone calls were likely made behind the scenes for Mayor Pete and Amy to drop out.
Bloomberg comes in and his campaign falls as flat as a fart in church and Pocahontas is just so unlikeable and cringeworthy. Neither one of those really ever had a chance.
And the black vote is so critical within the Democratic party and Biden is BY FAR the most viable out of all those I just mentioned.
I just don't think they expected Biden's mental facilities to decline this rapidly but how can you really replace him? Bernie Sanders is the second place guy so he would be the obvious choice but that's simply not going to happen.
So you just spit into the face of all the Bernie Bros yet another time by playing dictator and giving it to somebody like Hillary?
Even if Biden DOES beat Trump in this election that is almost certainly going to lead to dominate Republican victories in 2022 and 2024. Could you imagine 4 more years of cognitive decline or the presidency being passed over to a Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams?

Biden says MLK assassination ‘did not have the worldwide impact’ that George Floyd’s death did
Fox News ^ | 6/11/2020 | Morgan Phillips
Posted on 6/12/2020, 12:24:40 PM by lionstar
Joe Biden on Thursday compared the death of George Floyd to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, saying Floyd’s death had a bigger global "impact" than King’s.
At an economic reopening roundtable in Philadelphia, the former vice president spoke of how the advent of smartphones had precipitated global participation in the movement against police brutality and racial injustice.
“Even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden said.
“It’s just like television changed the Civil Rights movement for the better when they saw Bull Connor and his dogs ripping the clothes off of elderly black women going to church and firehoses ripping the skin off of young kids,” he continued.
“What happened to George Floyd — now you got how many people around the country, millions of cell phones. It’s changed the way everybody’s looking at this,” he continued. “Look at the millions of people marching around the world.”
Biden both met with Floyd’s family and sent a video message for his funeral in the days following his death in police custody. He said that African-Americans live with the fear of wondering if they’ll be next.
“People all across this country are enraged and rightly so. Everyday African-Americans go about their lives with constant anxiety and trauma of wondering, ‘Will I be next?’ Sounds like an exaggeration but it’s not,” Biden said on May 29.

Biden: Latino community is diverse, ‘unlike the African American community’
By MATTHEW CHOI
08/06/2020
Joe Biden said in remarks on Wednesday that the Latino community is "incredibly diverse," "unlike" the Black community.
"Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly diverse attitudes about different things," Biden said. "You go to Florida, you find a very different attitude about immigration than you do in Arizona. So it's a very diverse community."

Trump White House doctor, 13 other House Republicans urge Biden to take cognitive test
Rick Rouan
USA TODAY
Jun. 19, 2021
The former White House doctor who gave a glowing report in 2018 about then-President Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities is calling on President Joe Biden to take the same test.
U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, led a group of 14 Republicans who sent Biden a letter on Thursday urging him to take a cognitive test and make the results public.
The freshman Congressman served as White House physician under former presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Trump. In 2018, he gave Trump a clean bill of health after an annual physical and cognitive test that came amid questions about Trump’s mental fitness to serve.
At the time, Jackson said it was the first instance he knew of a cognitive test being administered to a sitting president, saying Trump was “mentally very sharp.”
“We believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all presidents should follow the precedent set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities,” Jackson and his Republican colleagues wrote in their June 17 letter to Biden.
President Joe Biden, pictured here during the final debate of the 2020 campaign, bristled at questions about his mental fitness during the presidential campaign.
The Trump campaign made Biden’s mental fitness a major piece of its 2020 campaign. In campaign ads and rallies, Trump sought to paint Biden as mentally unfit to serve. His mental fitness has been a regular target for misinformation spreading online.
Biden, 78, is the oldest president in American history.

Biden Gets Busted Over False Baseball Boast
By Nick Arama | Jul 05, 2021
Joe Biden told us yesterday, “word of a Biden” we were on the verge of America’s “greatest future.”
There are a couple of problems with that.
We may be on the verge of America’s “greatest future” but it will be in spite of Biden, not because of it and likely only after we are past Biden because of his awful policies.
But the other problem is that the word of a Biden isn’t worth anything. Media doesn’t acknowledge them as lies, but Biden lies like he breathes. His most common type of lie is the one that puffs him up — the boasting lie. That’s the kind of lie that made him have to drop out of his first presidential race in 1988, when he plagiarized other politicians and lied about his educational background. He’s lied about marching for civil rights. He’s lied about being arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela. That kind of lying is one of the reasons he was dismissed as a buffoon for years until the Democrats thought they needed him as the safe, congenial old guy to secure their power.
But now, he told another whopper when he had the World Series winners, the Los Angeles Dodgers, to the White House on Friday. During the visit, he told the Dodgers that he hit a 368 ft. home run off the right-centerfield wall during a Congressional baseball game. He even claimed his “kids remember that.” CBS’ Bo Erickson, one of the few reporters who actually asks questions and reports like a real reporter should, took note, calling it “Peak Biden.”
Except, as with anything Biden says, it seems there was a small problem with that. Joe’s first year in Congress was 1973. Yes, he is that old. In 1974, as Zach Parkinson RNC Research Director and GOP Deputy Communications Director found, Biden actually went 0-2, the furthest you could get from hitting a monster home run.

Biden raises eyebrows with claim he 'used to drive' 18-wheeler truck
The White House struggled to defend Biden's claim
By Houston Keene | Fox News
Joe Concha: ‘Sham’ network CNN hosts town hall for ‘Big Guy’ Joe Biden and its tough not to laugh at
The Fox News contributor says that President Biden is waging war on small businesses as inflation fears grow—but CNN doesn’t seem to notice
Forty-eight-year political veteran President Biden raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck — a claim the White House struggled to defend.
Biden was visiting a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania when he made the claim to have driven the massive trucks before, which require a special kind of license.
"I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man," Biden said on Wednesday in a video posted to Twitter. "I got to."
There is scant evidence that Biden has ever driven an 18-wheeler truck.
When asked if the president had ever driven such a truck, a White House spokesperson pointed to a December 1973 article from the Wilmington Evening Journal that showed Biden rode in an 18-wheeler on a 536-mile haul to Ohio.
Fox News pressed the spokesperson about the president’s claim – noting that riding in a truck is not the same as driving one – at which point the president's spokesperson pointed to a United Federation of Teachers post that touched on Biden driving a school bus in the past as a summer job.
The majority of school buses, on average, "have two axles, with the bigger models having two wheels on the front axle and four wheels on the dual axle, for a total of six wheels," according to SchoolBusFleet.com.
Fox News pressed again about the president’s claim, pointing out that a school bus is not the same as an 18-wheeler truck, but did not receive a response by publishing time.

Pres. Biden says he visited Tree of Life synagogue after mass shooting, they say he didn't

WH admits Biden’s claim he visited Tree of Life synagogue is not true
By Steven Nelson
September 3, 2021
WASHINGTON — President Biden did not visit the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after the murder of 11 congregants — despite saying so, the White House admitted Friday.
Biden on Thursday told Jewish leaders that he remembered “spending time at” and “going to” the Tree of Life, but the synagogue told The Post he never visited.
Nearly 24 hours after being asked about the discrepancy, a White House official said in a statement that Biden “was referring to a call he had with the Tree of Life rabbi in 2019.”
Biden’s initial false statement received widespread criticism and was featured in segments on CNN and Fox News.
The 2018 mass shooting at the Tree of Life was the worst anti-Jewish hate crime in US history.
Biden has a reputation for making false or embellished claims and dropped out of his first presidential campaign in 1988 due to a plagiarism scandal. But at nearly 79 years old, his mental acuity also is a frequent matter of public debate.
In one infamous misstatement, Biden in 2020 claimed he “had the great honor of being arrested” in South Africa when he was “trying to get to see [Nelson Mandela] on Robbens Island,” where Mandela was in prison until 1990. He said Mandela thanked him for it.
Biden later admitted, “I wasn’t arrested, I was stopped. I was not able to move where I wanted to go.”
Biden dropped out of the 1988 Democratic presidential primary due to a plagiarism scandal. He admitted plagiarizing a law school paper and was exposed for using without credit lines from British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.
However, Biden struggled with his memory at the Thursday event.
The president could not recall the name of the song “Hava Nagila” while speaking about his daughter’s wedding to a Jewish man, saying, “My mind is going blank now, what’s the song that is played where everybody is on the chair? I can’t remember it.”
Although Biden incorrectly said he visited the Tree of Life, the congregation’s rabbi, Hazzan Jeffrey Myers, indicated there were no hard feelings in a statement released by the White House.
An FBI agent stands behind a police cordon outside the Tree of Life Synagogue after a shooting there left 11 people dead in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh on October 27, 2018.
Biden earlier said he remembered “spending time” at the synagogue.
“President Biden kindly called me on my cell phone as I was sitting in Dulles Airport awaiting a return flight to Pittsburgh after I testified before Congress in July 2019,” Myers said.
“In a heartfelt way, he extended his condolences and asked how we were doing. We spoke about the challenges of antisemitism, and he made clear he would confront it with us as president. The conversation meant a great deal to me, and I will always be grateful for his kind words and continued support of our community.”
Then-President Donald Trump visited the Tree of Life three days after mass shooting. Trump was joined by prominent Jewish members of his administration, including his daughter Ivanka Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

Biden Busted for Claiming yet Another Unbelievable Story
By Nick Arama | Sep 13, 2021
Is there a psychological name for the disorder that Joe Biden has where he just constantly makes up things out of whole cloth whenever he’s speaking to and trying to pander to a group? Or do we just call it what it is — part of his being a sociopath, unable to stop his crazy lying?
Biden was in Idaho for an event about trying to stop the wildfires in the area. During the event, Biden claimed that his “first job offer” came from a local Idaho lumber company, Boise Cascade.
From NY Post:
“I used to tell Frank Church this, I got a — my first job offer, where I wanted — my wife, deceased wife and I wanted to move to Idaho because we — not a joke — it’s such a beautiful, beautiful state. And I interviewed for a job at Boise Cascade,” Biden said.
He added: “And in the meantime there was a war going on. Anyway. But the whole point was that I used to always kid Frank.”
Unfortunately for Biden, the company was honest and said that this was news to them.
Boise Cascade spokeswoman Lisa Tschampl told The Post, “We have no record of President Biden’s application or of him having worked for the company. “
Tschampl said that “we checked our system internally and nothing has turned up.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Post was unable to locate any prior record of Biden mentioning the company — including in news clippings archived by the Nexis and Factiva databases.
Biden’s 2007 memoir “Promises to Keep” does not mention the company or a desire to move to Idaho.
Of course not, because it’s completely unbelievable. It’s incredibly unlikely given his Delaware-centered career and nothing at all to do with him being a lawyer. Since he married his wife in law school, it’s highly unlikely he’d be looking for a random job working for a lumber company and not a legal position.
But this is a problem he’s had since he’s been in public life — he just can’t stop lying and he’s been lying for decades. He had to drop out of his first run for president in the 1988 race when he was caught plagiarizing and lying about his academic background.
It’s like him driving an 18 wheeler, hitting a home run in the Congressional baseball game back in the 70s, being a coal miner, getting arrested trying to meet with Nelson Mandela, marching for civil rights, going to the Tree of Life synagogue after the mass murder there — just to name a few of the lies he’s spun over the years.
He just can’t seem to stop making things up. It’s a sickness with him and the problem is it’s not just about puffing himself up to pander to people like this, it’s about lying on critical things like Afghanistan and even trying to make the former president of Afghanistan lie, too. It’s a danger to our national security to have this man in office and sooner or later, if he isn’t removed, it could put us in an even graver situation than what he did in Afghanistan.

LOOK WHAT THIS IDIOT IS SAYING HERE?!
The central Asian country of Tajikistan, which shares the entirety of its southern border with Afghanistan, has summoned the US ambassador on Tuesday to mount protest over remarks by President Joe Biden during weekend 9/11 anniversary commemoration events.
"As I read it, I am told, 70 percent of the American people think it was time to get out of Afghanistan, spending all that money. "But the flip of it is, they didn’t like the way we got out. But it’s hard to explain to anybody how else could you get out. For example, if we were in Tajikistan and we pulled up with a C-130 and said, "We’re going to let, you know, anybody who was involved with being sympathetic to us to get on the plane," you’d have people hanging in the wheel well. Come on."

The Return of Trump’s Remain in Mexico Policy
The Biden Administration has botched immigration policy as badly as it did the Afghanistan withdrawal, and it now may suffer the indignity of re-adopting a Trump-era border policy that candidate Joe Biden denounced as un-American.
“ Donald Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy is dangerous, inhumane, and goes against everything we stand for as a nation of immigrants. My administration will end it,” Mr. Biden tweeted in March 2020. That was when Mr. Biden was courting the left.
Now chaos prevails at the border as hundreds of thousands try to enter illegally, and the Department of Homeland Security has made “great progress” in reviving Remain in Mexico, acting assistant secretary for immigration policy Blas Nuñez-Neto said Thursday. That policy required some categories of asylum seekers to wait south of the border while their claims to enter the U.S. are heard.

Biden repeats debunked Amtrak story for fifth time during presidency
Biden repeated the factually impossible story during a speech Monday in New Jersey
By Jessica Chasmar | Fox News
Biden delivers remarks on his Build Back Better Agenda and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal
President Biden repeated a heartfelt yet factually challenged story about an Amtrak employee during a speech Monday in New Jersey.
For the fifth time during his presidency, Biden told a story dating back to when he was vice president about a lighthearted encounter with former Amtrak employee Angelo Negri.
"I commuted every single day, 263 miles a day, on Amtrak from the time I got elected United States senator," the president said. "I got to know all the conductors really well, they became my friends – I mean, really, my genuine friends, I’d have them at my home for Christmas and during the summer.
"And Ange walks up to me and goes, ‘Joey, baby,’ grabs my cheek and I thought the Secret Service was going to blow his head off," he said.
"I swear to God, true story," he recalled. "I said, ‘No, no, he’s a friend.’ I said, ‘What’s up, Ange?’ And he said, ‘Joey, I read in the paper you traveled 1,200,000 miles on Air Force planes.’"
Negri then informed the vice president that he had traveled 2,200,000 miles on Amtrak, according to Biden's telling.
"’So Joey, I don’t wanna hear this about the Air Force anymore,’" Biden recalled Negri joking.
"I’m a train guy," the president said, concluding his story and launching into his pitch on his Build Back Better agenda and bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Fox News has previously reported that the story does not add up.
Negri's obituary states he retired from Amtrak in 1993, while Biden was still a senator. Additionally, Biden's office celebrated him hitting 1 million miles on Air Force Two in 2015 and Negri passed away the year prior.
Biden's telling of the story has also varied.
The president previously claimed it happened in the "fourth or fifth year" of his vice presidency, while he claimed as recently as last week that it happened in the seventh year of his tenure.
In another version of the story that Biden has previously told, he was going back to visit his sick mother when the interaction happened, even though his mother, Catherine Eugenia Finnegan, died in 2010.

Habitual liar + senility.
Even CNN (!) wrote about it back in June:
Fact check: Biden keeps repeating a false story about an Amtrak conductor he knew
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden repeated a vivid story he has been telling since at least his 2020 presidential campaign.
Biden's story serves to illustrate both his connection with average workers and his fondness for Amtrak, the rail service he famously used for years to commute between Washington and his home state of Delaware. The story details a conversation he claims to have had with a particular Amtrak conductor as he was boarding a train as vice president.
But the story could not possibly be true -- as some conservative media outlets pointed out after Biden told one version in late April.
Facts First: Biden was friends with the Amtrak conductor at the center of the story, Angelo Negri. But Negri had been dead for more than a year -- and had been retired for more than two decades -- before the earliest moment they could conceivably have had the supposed conversation Biden keeps describing.
Biden brought back the story about Negri during a Wisconsin speech he delivered on Tuesday to promote an infrastructure proposal from a bipartisan group of senators, which includes $66 billion in rail funding.
After pronouncing himself "Mr. Amtrak," Biden said that "toward the end of my term" as vice president, "a headline came out in all of the papers" about how many miles he had flown on Air Force planes -- 1.3 million miles or 1.7 million miles, he said.
As he was getting on an Amtrak train that Friday, Biden continued, Negri grabbed him affectionately by the cheek and said, "Joey, baby!"
Biden said he had been concerned Negri would be shot by the Secret Service, so he had assured agents that Negri was a friend. Then, he said, Negri scoffed that Biden's number of miles traveled on Air Force planes was no "big deal" -- because Negri and others had figured out that Biden had traveled a greater number of miles on Amtrak trains over his career in Washington.
Biden quoted Negri as saying: "At that retirement dinner, we calculated it." He said Negri had explained the math, then concluded, "Joey, you traveled more on Amtrak."
Biden's account simply does not add up. Biden did not reach the million-miles-flown mark as vice president until September 2015, according to his own past comments. But Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993 and died in May 2014, according to an obituary published online and in the Asbury Park Press, a New Jersey newspaper.
The version of the story Biden told in April was slightly different from the version he told Tuesday. But that rendition, too, could not be correct.
In the April version, Biden claimed that the exchange with Negri had occurred during the "fourth or fifth year" of his vice presidency, which ran from early 2009 to early 2017. Again, Biden did not hit the million-miles-flown mark as vice president until he had been in the office for more than six-and-a-half years, at which point Negri was deceased.
There is yet another issue with the story. In both the April version and an October 2020 version -- and less directly in the Tuesday version -- Biden at least hinted that the encounter with Negri occurred when he was commuting to Delaware because his mother was dying. But Biden's mother, Catherine Eugenia "Jean" Finnegan Biden, died in early 2010, more than five years before her son hit the million-miles-flown mark.
In addition, Biden was exaggerating at least slightly on Tuesday when he said there had been a "headline" in "all of the papers" about his travel as vice president. Multiple media outlets and journalists did at least passingly note Biden's comments about reaching the 1 million mark and then reaching 1.1 million, 1.2 million and 1.3 million. And at least a couple of online publications published photo articles in 2016 that noted in their headlines that Biden had hit the 1 million mark. But while there might have been some headline in some newspaper, Biden hitting various travel thresholds was not widely treated by newspapers as headline news.
The White House declined to comment for this article. When White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked in early May about reports that Biden's story was inaccurate, she said, "I haven't seen that. But the President's long history with Amtrak and appreciation for the hardworking employees is very well known."

Trump White House doctor, 13 other House Republicans urge Biden to take cognitive test
Rick Rouan
USA TODAY
Jun. 19, 2021
The former White House doctor who gave a glowing report in 2018 about then-President Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities is calling on President Joe Biden to take the same test.
U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, led a group of 14 Republicans who sent Biden a letter on Thursday urging him to take a cognitive test and make the results public.
The freshman Congressman served as White House physician under former presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Trump. In 2018, he gave Trump a clean bill of health after an annual physical and cognitive test that came amid questions about Trump’s mental fitness to serve.
At the time, Jackson said it was the first instance he knew of a cognitive test being administered to a sitting president, saying Trump was “mentally very sharp.”
“We believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all presidents should follow the precedent set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities,” Jackson and his Republican colleagues wrote in their June 17 letter to Biden.
President Joe Biden, pictured here during the final debate of the 2020 campaign, bristled at questions about his mental fitness during the presidential campaign.
The Trump campaign made Biden’s mental fitness a major piece of its 2020 campaign. In campaign ads and rallies, Trump sought to paint Biden as mentally unfit to serve. His mental fitness has been a regular target for misinformation spreading online.
Biden, 78, is the oldest president in American history.

Joe Biden mocked after Hunter has to explain child's question in Ireland: 'I am so embarrassed for my country'
Fox News ^ | 4/13/23 | Joe Silverstein
Posted on 4/14/2023, 1:34:16 PM by Libloather
Hunter Biden had to explain a child's question to his father, President Joe Biden, during the president's trip to Ireland Wednesday, shocking social media users. The apparent confusion came after the elder Biden struggled to answer the child's question about success.
"What’s the top step to success?" the child asked the president.
"What’s the top what?" Biden responded.
"Step - steps - step to success," the child answered.
Biden responded that the way to be successful is to stop COVID-19 from spreading.
"Oh, well, making sure that we don’t all have COVID. What - why - what are we talking about here?" he asked.
At this point, Hunter Biden intervened.
"If you can - what’s the - what’s the key to success?" the resident's son asked, attempting to clarify the child's question.
"Oh, what’s the key to success? You know what I found out is the key to success is? And I’m not sure I’m the best guy to explain it; these guys can tell you," the president responded.
He then talked about the importance of not personally attacking people with whom you disagree.
People responded to the interaction by arguing that this is, in their view, just another example of Biden being mentally unfit to serve as president.
"Hunter Biden is our resident, isn't he?" Ashe Short, senior editor at Daily Wire, wrote.

What do you call the Negro league?
Negro league | Overview, History, Players, & Facts | Britannica
The principal Negro leagues were the Negro National League (1920–31, 1933–48), the Eastern Colored League (1923–28), and the Negro American League (1937–60).

Calling it the Negro league is not improper because in this case it’s actual historical fact — several of the black baseball leagues of the segregation era LITERALLY used the word “Negro” in their title and they were collectively known as the Negro Leagues. There was a Negro National League, a Negro American League, a Negro Southern League and so on. Even if the EXISTENCE of separate baseball leagues for black players was itself a product of racism, it’s not racist to call something by the name it called itself at the time.
This is what President Biden said, “I’ve adopted the attitude of the great Negro — at the time, pitcher in the Negro Leagues, went on to become a great pitcher in the pros, in the — Major League Baseball after Jackie Robinson,” Biden said. “His name was Satchel Paige.” Interpret it however you like.

White House Alters Official Transcript of Speech Where Biden Claimed Credit for Curing Cancer
by: Matt Palumbo July 26, 2023
While delivering remarks on the subject of expanding access to mental health care, Joe Biden made some comments about curing cancer that raised a few eyebrows.
“One of the things I'm always asked is why Americans have sort of lost faith for a while in being able to do big things. If you could do anything at all, Joe, what would you do? I said I'd cure cancer. They looked at me like, why cancer? Because no one thinks we can. That's why, and we can. We ended cancer as we know it,” Biden can be heard saying.
Watch below:
Rather than even bother to address the gaffe, the White House instead decided to silently rewrite reality, and alter the official transcript of his speech to read: “I said, ‘I’d cure cancer.’ And they looked at me like, ‘Why cancer?’ Because no one thinks we can. That’s why. And we can. We can end cancer as we know it.”
Amusingly, in an attempt to debunk what they describe as the “the latest jab from conservatives who repeatedly point out flaws in the president's speeches,” one journo at Newsweek cites the White House’s falsified transcript as proof that Biden didn’t actually say what everyone with functioning ears could hear for themselves.

And yet another reference to someone looking like an athlete. He just cannot stop.
“LL J — Cool J,” Biden said on Saturday during his speech, prompting laughter from the audience at the mispronunciation. “By the way, that boy has got — he’s got — I think that man has got biceps bigger than my thighs.”

Biden Makes Huge Gaffe on Fentanyl, WH Rushes to Clean Up as He Flees for More Vacation
By Nick Arama | November 21, 2023
Today, Biden called on Congress to classify "fentanyl and related substances" as Schedule 1 drugs, which would end its legitimate, regulated medicinal use.
His aides immediately said he misspoke and meant to say "fentanyl-related substances."
